  • Spread Sheet
    • To keep the scale projects understandable, finances are calculated by Projects.
    • The baseline is a 10 km network, such as the Mall of America to hotels and airport. This requires $82 million.
    • Total projects are for 118 km, at $1,360 million.
    • Tabs at the bottom:
      • JPods Summary:  Job created per 10 km, for the 118 km, and the estimated Physical Internet in the US.
