G19Tony Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 On a trip to Shanghai in 2010, I took a quick ride from downtown to Pudong Airport and back on the Maglev. We took the boss there, just so he could ride it. There were thoughts of having it in Las Vegas. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a curious fact to add: A couple of my family work in administrative positions for the Power company here. I asked them what the "Peaking Plant" was along side the highway, on one of my trips. He said that when The power output of our major plant was at max, and the peaking plant (turbine engine generator) came on line, there is a contracted stream of fuel trucks from the refinery to the peaking plant. When the peaking plant was running, you could look South down the highway, and there would never be a time when at least one fuel truck wasn't in sight. This would have been a steady stream of fuel trucks to service the Turbine Generator as long as it was running. Very expensive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
