That's great and all but how does he plan on powering this thing?
Seems like you would need to address the energy needs and build that infrastructure first. Good luck getting a power plant approved in CA
I can assure you these thing won't run on wind and solar power. Nukes, fossil fuel and coal fired plants will also be out of the question for the folks in CA (as well as other places).
It is solar powered.

I'm unaware of any solar tech that's able to propel a train at 600 mph, much less at night.
