The Hyperloop Concept: Sustainability and Mobility
In 2013, Elon Musk published the Hyperloop Alpha whitepaper detailing a new concept for high speed transportation featuring low-pressure underground tunnels where transportation pods travel at high-speeds with near-zero drag. For example, a hyperloop from Los Angeles to San Fransisco would only take 36 minutes. Our current transportation infrastructure: cars on highways, planes in the sky, relatively slow high-speed trains, and costly boating and freight travel - all see bottlenecks to efficiency and their environmental cost. These challenges are minimized in the hyperloop concept.
Sustainbility is at the heart of the hyperloop concept through the use of electric motors for propulsion that eliminate all emissions, environmentally-friendly plastics and polymers, an a minimized carbon footprint with the recycling of excavation materials to build low-income housing. As a modern transportation solution hyperloop is conscientious of renewability and the sustainable, fair practices required to lower our carbon footprint.
