Right But as far as I am aware nobody has requested state or federal funding to build a space elevator in Minnesota as has been the case recently with PRT Just this week a PRT promoter asked the Hennepin County Railroad Authority for a resolution in support of PRT You can watch the video of his presentation on my blog Do you think the Wikipedia PRT article is a good source of information about PRT for public officials faced with a decision to commit public funding or rights of way for PRT
