The Fight for Maglev tells how Maglev, the first new transport mode
since the airplane, will soon transform transportation in America
and the World. 300 mph magnetically levitated and propelled
vehicles have no engine, do not burn oil, do not emit pollutants
and greenhouse gases, and are very quiet and comfortable. They
carry passengers, personal autos, highway trucks, and freight
without weather or congestion delays, at much lower cost than
driving or flying, saving every American $1000 dollars per year.
The book tells how the authors, James Powell and Gordon Danby,
invented Maglev in 1966 and why the US failed to develop it. Their
1st generation Maglev now operates in Japan. The authors describe
how their new, more capable 2nd generation Maglev system, built as
a 29,000 mile National Maglev network, will provide millions of new
manufacturing jobs and billions of dollars in exports, while
greatly reducing highway deaths and injuries and oil imports, if
the U.S. acts to implement it. Otherwise another country will
become the World leader in Maglev. For Science and Technology
Readers: The authors describe the catastrophic global warming
"tipping points" that threaten human survival and suggest
large-scale experiments that will predict when these tipping points
will occur. The authors show how humanity can avoid becoming part
of the ongoing 6th extinction if we implement Maglev in place of
our present fossil fueled transport path. For Public Policy
Readers: James Jordan, with over 30 years' experience on Capitol
Hill narrates the Inside Story of why the Congress and the
Executive Branch have ignored this technology and not made the
modest investment to develop and demonstrate the American invented
2nd generation superconducting Maglev technology the way that the
German and Japanese governments did with 1st generation Maglev
transport systems. Congress can overcome the special interests who
lobby to kill Maglev technology if it hears a thoughtful and solid
protest from the American people. Thus this book. Don't miss this
story, America's economic, environmental, and energy future and the
quality of life of every American is at stake.
