      I made some observations on my blog on this very technology:

      http://theblogprof.blogspot.com/2009/03/detroit-to-lansing-at-200-mph.html

      My guess is that it will be far more expensive than $0.05 per minute. Solar power in the big equation is a gimmick at best.  The whole fuel cell/hydrogen thing is going to be a mess.  If they get rid of that, then it might be feasible, but I quetion the volume they will get to cover such a huge investment.  That being said, it's possible simply on the grounds that it is a private investment rather than a government boondoggle...

      So yes, they can build it and make it work.  But pie-in-the-sky technology to deliver the energy just won't cut it.  I say build Fermi 3 to help power the thing, but that's just me...
