Statement by the group Minnesota 2020, possibly to manage public interest in the Citizens For PRT booth at May 7-8 St. Paul green expo. "It's the best of both worlds, is what proponents -- like Citizens for Personal Rapid Transit who had a booth at the Living Green Expo -- would have you believe." -Riordan Frost What followed was yet another mischaracterization of PRT as low capacity based on comparing pod size to light rail, and not recognizing PRT's capacity is network-based. Is it not odd, reader, that one group participates as an exhibitor at a sustainability fair, while another group (not an exhibitor) decides its participation will be to question the former's believabilty. That list of exhibitors includes a Ford truck dealer and Chevrolet. Minnesota 2020 couldn't think of anything to say about auto companies being at a green expo? Or Xcel Energy, which operates two Minnesota nuclear power plants; what were they doing at Living Green with Fukushima-Daichi still smoldering? - Ed. • "Revitalizing the Waterfront District" (Duluth, MN) Possible plans includes hotels, destinations offering summer and winter activities, a marina, and podcar transit using Taxi 2000's Skyweb Express system. 2-1-2011
