Well, how about that?

One political hurdle has been crossed in implementing a Personal Rapid Transit system in Duluth.

They're looking at the SkyWeb Express system, developed at the U of MN. They've got a five minute video for people with a fast internet connection, but it says the same thing they say on their home page.

They also have news updates, including some negative articles. Here's one from a guy running a small local paper that wasn' there when I was, who's as enthusiastic as I am. It's a good introduction to the whole concept as well, if you've never heard of it.

Update: I didn't mention earlier that they're spending a lot of time waiting around for the Government, governments actually, to act. I learned as a kid, that if you wait around for somebody else to do something for you, you're wasting life-force.
