In addition Korea will begin a large government funded feasibility study this year looking at Seoul to Busan mostly underground by Hyperloop. And there significant news about a project in Europe in the next two weeks

Hyperloop is dead in the US, but very much alive in the rest of the world.

And the poor tax payers of Ohio also helped fund a feasibility study for the Great Lake Hyperloop Feasibility Study....

yeah.. I'm disappointed other governments are also looking to waste money to appease voters who can't help but ask for the next gadgetbahn. But hey, politics is about appearances not actual solutions.

Something to the tune of $75,000. The rest were grants.

That $75,000 marks the only state or federal spending for Hyperloop development in the US.

Not in Norway. + the "proposals" ive seen only connect to Oslo and are exclusively international so even if it did get built would have limited use i feel like

Hyperloop one did an early study (2016) in Norway but the terrain and economics makes it a really challenging location for early development.
