For more info about Maglev and its characteristics, there is a very
detailed site at http://www.maglev.com (use the English option if you do
not sprechen).
According to this information, Maglev actually uses 30% less energy than
the ICE train (the German high speed train using conventional tracks). I
stand corrected unless I can find my original source of info about it using
twice as much power.
