Queenslanders now have a good idea of what their government thinks of the hyperloop transportation concept as a cure for traffic woes on the M1.<\/span><\/p>\n

Travelling between the Gold Coast and Brisbane on the M1 can be frustrating at the best of times during peak periods. When there’s an incident, traffic snarls can be horrendous. On Monday, a truck lost its load of beer bottles, resulting in a 20km long traffic jam<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

A new possible solution to the M1 problem has been informally tabled – hyperloop.<\/span><\/p>\n

What Is Hyperloop?<\/h2>\n

Hyperloop is a transport solution under development in the USA consisting of large tubes operating under low air pressure, through which magnetically-levitated pods carrying freight or passengers would travel. Its proponents says the reduced air resistance within the tube would enable speeds of 1,000 kilometres per hour plus and at much greater efficiency in terms of energy use than other forms of transportation.<\/p>\n

The idea of a hyperloop-type transportation system was first proposed many years ago, and the modern concept was floated by Tesla and SpaceX. Their Hyperloop white paper<\/a> (PDF) suggested the surface above the tubes could be lined with solar panels to provide the required electricity to run the system.<\/p>\n

More Join The Hyperloop Party<\/h2>\n

Tesla\/SpaceX\/Elon Musk aren’t the only ones pursuing and evangelising the hyperloop concept. Another start-up, Hyperloop-One<\/a>, aims to have operational systems by 2021. Among Hyperloop One’s directors is Virgin Group’s Sir Richard Branson.<\/p>\n

Here’s a video of a test of Hyperloop One last year, complete with the these-days-obligatory funky music that’s way too loud.<\/p>\n

As for what will provide the energy for Hyperloop One, the team isn’t really fussed.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re energy-agnostic. Our system can draw power from whichever energy sources are available along the route. If that means solar and wind, then the entire system is 100% carbon free.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

An Impressed Liberal<\/h2>\n

Earlier this month, Federal Minister for Trade, Tourism, and Investment Steven Ciobo, visited Hyperloop One’s Los Angeles headquarters and was impressed by what he saw.<\/p>\n

“It could be a solution to the traffic nightmare that is congestion between the Gold Coast and Brisbane,” he said, stating the idea warranted further exploration. The full interview can be found here<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A Not So Impressed Queensland Government<\/h2>\n

To say the Queensland Government was scathing of the idea would be kind. You could just about visualise Transport and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey frothing at the mouth when reacting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDeb Frecklington needs to reject this ludicrous pipe dream proposed by her colleagues in Canberra and back our sensible plan to boost rail and road capacity for the people of the Gold Coast,” he said<\/a>. <\/span>\u201cMinister Ciobo should land his spaceship in Queensland and back Cross River Rail \u2013 a real project in a real state in the real world.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sir Richard might need to step in and smooth things over. Perhaps another Elon Musk-type offer<\/a>?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
