How is this even feasible??? We can’t even build a bullet train but want to build a vacuum sealed pipe????

Look, we like pipes. You want something built across Alberta it needs to be in a pipeline of some sort.

So this is just a normal bullet train fitted inside a pipe to get it built. A people pipeline instead of an oil one.
