Community for those focused on sustainable travel. Our society's current levels of energy intensive and frequent travel are not compatible with life on a finite planet. We advocate for long-term slow travel to see the world, and low energy local travel to deeply experience your community. Green washing free zone.

I haven't read the article or heard anything about this, but calling it right now: this wont be completed in less than 20 years and $10B.

The planned cost is $12B, with overruns coming on top of that
