Does he know something other countries don't? If you are going to tie HSR to being Green some things are even greener and faster.

I like how there are windows on the cars, but the Hyperloop train will be traveling in a tube. Maybe the train is outside the tube at the start and finish?
I wonder how tube security would be accomplished? I mean, one terrorist bomb on the tube somewhere while the train is on its way would be catastrophic.
