Maglev Technology President Obama outlined his future energy policy, by addressing the need to have cars that rely less on oil. He said by the next decade he wants less dependency on the pump. Americans are not going to adopt the new technologies as fast, but I think by transitioning them to the new technology will make it easier for them to adopt. One innovative technology I think that could change the whole industry is magnetic levitation or "maglev". Maglev is already used in some Asian countries for their high speed rail. The technology is based on magnets, which uses the polar opposites to push and pull the train. If we could somehow incorporate this technology into the wheels of the vehicles or the vehicle itself it my change the whole industry.
