Transportation would be taken care of by subways built when the foundations for the towers go in. I think we can conquer the polution issues if we set our minds to it. Look at Chevrolet 243 mpg that should not create to much polution. Eventually all cars will be electric or solar, there you go no more polution!

Economically viable wind power requires steady winds: you cannot plop wind turbines anywhere you like and expect them to pay off. The soil is likely full of heavy metals leached from microscopic tire particles. The linear design would discourage walking. The housing density is so low as to make mass transit inefficient.
