We do not have an energy problem, we have a regulatory problem.

OH really?

Here *I* was thinking all this time 'we' had was a economic model based on growth, underpriced cheap energy, and strong arguments that the world is suffering from overpopulation.

If it is simply "too much government" - hows that 'less government' thing working out in the US of A? Ya know - under the rule of the party who says they are gonna shrink the government.

But let me get to why I opted to login and respond:

Now say - how does your PRIVATE transport system exist without the governments power to confincate land for public use?
(Odds are this query will go unanswered, the same way how pointing out bicycles 'weight less and therefore are an even BETTER deal' or how 'why move people when their daily personal transport options can be moved via worker dorms or telecommuting')

But even here at TOD discussion of Personal Rapid Transit is censored.

If that is the way *YOU* see it, that is your problem. *I* see it as some guy who wants to pimp his own idea that would line his own pocket with money who is being told 'no , this is not a vector for you to line his pocket'

You want to make a profit on your idea? Fine. But why are you so bent outta shape when you can not use a resource you are not paying for to spread your for-profit message?
