Lurid Monorail for AnnArbor-Detroit Commute?

Inhabitat is reporting a story that a Solar + Hydrogen Power Interstate Rail is coming to southeast Michigan. Specifically, this will supposedly be a commuter connector between Ann Arbor and Detroit, and construction is due to begin later this year.

This is the first I have heard about this system, and I expect we'd all be a bit more familiar with it if it had made it thorough all the regulatory and financial hurdles that were necessary to get such an enormous plan into the works.

I just hope that unnatural shade of green the grass is glowing doesn't turn out to be some kind of artifact of the system. I've never seen any vegetation that color of green in Michigan...
