Some Western European countries are getting serious about transporting consumer goods through automated subterranean networks ? introducing a fifth transport mode next to road, rail, air and water. This rare combination of low-tech sense and high-tech knowledge could lead to a further economic growth without destroying the environment and the quality of life.

People, as force-creating engines, are far less efficient than machinery or electronics. If everything were bicycle-powered, we'd save on electricity costs but the worldwide demand for food and water would skyrocket and the agriculture industry would completely collapse.

Perhaps I may have been wrong.

Also, it is rape. Is is.
