Environmental Impacts of Mag Lev

Maglev also has a variety of environmental impacts. A maglev guide way doesn't require a very wide thoroughfare, therefore consuming less land. The guide way could even be built on existing interstate highway rights of way. Because the guide ways are elevated, they have useable land underneath. Maglev also consumes less natural resources. While we are growing more and more dependent on petroleum in an unstable oil market, maglev is only 30% dependent of petroleum. Maglev vehicles use only one-fourth to one-half as much energy as jets and automobiles.
