Re: 50 miles???

Sorry but I've got to downvote for this. Sure it's factually accurate but the technologies you mention do not exist, neither does the political will, funding of suitable geopolitics to deploy such infrastructure. So while it's not technically impossible, it is practically impossible given regional/global instabilities if nothing else.

Why not demand world peace while you're at it. Regional and global stability is something of a pre-requisite for a global grid.

As Phil says, it's a really bad idea to base long term transport policy on what might be technologically possible some time soon but doesn't actually exist.

A bit like banning all ICE cars without ensuring the infrastructure for their non-ICE replacements does/will also exist. Unless the long tem plan is the plebs won't be allows personal transport. Which, sadly, seems more and more plausible by the day :(
