Description:
SolTrain, the worlds first solar/wind passenger rail vehicle. Other alternative energy groups are all serving their function but SolTrain is the only solar powered transportation available by any company at this time. City governments like Capitola have already donated funding and that funding built a working prototype. Soltrain has no emissions of any kind! No pollutants, toxins, etc. because it is solar powered. Ted Lahti is a successful sustainable community developer with 35 Eco-communities and 900 sustainable properties built and sold, and he is the inventor of SolTrain. Ted conceptualized the prototype and Ron Powers developed it. Ron Powers is a SolTrain partner who completed major multimillion dollar projects for NASA, Ford, McDonald Douglas, Boeing, Rockwell, and General Motors, including building 3 of the 4 monorail systems in the U.S. and built NASA's space shuttle/station mockups. Most countries around the world have problems with transportation emitting pollutants and toxins. This transportation has revolutionized mass transit by reducing the amount of harmful gases in the air, being self-sustainable, and will be available to international markets with more funding. Once the project is funded, it is self-serviced, so this product is profitable through charging passengers for rides. We are seeking a minimum of one million dollars but we are open to whatever contribution you can make. Thank you for your time. Ted Lahti
