E3T has the potential to take you from DC to LA in 45 minutes, faster than any plane. It also has the potential to be very energy effective, only needing an initial burst of energy to accelerate it to 4000 MPH then that inertia is mostly recovered in deceleration.
Energy cost per mile that is a very small fraction of the fuel used in air transport.

Do you have a link for e3t? How much would it cost to build and maintain per mile? Heck if i could afford it i could fly the space shuttle to where i wanted to go at 17,000 mph.
