Future Green Train Could Be Twice As Fast As Airplane!

Hyperloop, a future green train, could transport people from Los Angeles to San Francisco in just 30 minutes.

Have you ever imagined a train that could even surpass an airplane in speed? Elon Musk, chief executive officer, Tesla Motor has disclosed plans for a new green vehicle that could transport people from Los Angeles to San Francisco--the two California cities--in as little as 30 minutes. If ‘Hyperloop’ successfully achieves this, it would surpass not just a bullet train but also an airplane in speed. Currently the fastest way to travel between the two California cities is by plane, which takes about an hour.

According to a report by InHabitat, Musk recently discussed the new transit system at the first ever Pando Monthly event in Santa Monica, CA. The system would be "entirely powered by solar energy."  

"You would go from downtown LA to downtown San Francisco in under 30 minutes. It would cost you much less than an air ticket than any other mode of transport," Musk was quoted as saying. "I think we could actually make it self-powering if you put solar panels on it, you generate more power than you would consume in the system. There's a way to store the power so it would run 24/7 without using batteries."

Musk should be out with more information about the new mode of transportation in the coming weeks. So look forward to hearing more about the train which will not only be inexpensive and weather-proof but also resistant to crashes!
