Building this JPods network in Lowell will result in thousands of Massachusetts jobs building solar-powered networks that combine the efficiency of freight railroads (140 times the efficieny of cars) with the on-demand service of the Internet and the safety of theme park thrill rides (0.2 injuries per million versus 11,200 injuries per million on roads). These jobs will be paid for by converting current traffic costs into value.
