Businesses, Groups and Organizations who would be against introducing a Personal/Mass Transportation System
Ok, this will be an ongoing work that should be a lot of fun. I have time to start out a couple of the basic groups. You will get the idea - explanatory words are essential. I can think of 32 groups that would hate it and a dozen groups whom would benefit real quick. If you want to contribute to this list and I use your words, you will get credit (unless you want to remain anonymous). Email me your thoughts. Thanks.

The volume of Graphite,
Kevlar and Spectra used to build all those PODS would be huge. These
manufacturers could justify extra investments to build more automated

other applications and make the USA more competitive in the world markets.
