China Environment Agency Reviewing Maglev Project

How does the Maglev (Magnetically levitated trains) help resolving the global warming problem?
China's environmental protection authorities are evaluating Shanghai's planned
magnetic levitation train line to the resort city of Hangzhou.
The proposed maglev route was still being debated and opinions were being
collected from experts and residents.
Thousands of residents along the proposed route fearing the high-speed trains
would produce radiation.

Shanghai's executive vice mayor believed the project would comply with China's environmental standards.

The route was intended to be up and running by 2010, when Shanghai will host the World Expo.

Shanghai already operates the world's only commercial maglev system on a 30-km line linking its financial district to Pudong international airport using German's technology.
