Interesting idea. However, the Mass Driver page seems very similar, although with a different name, perhaps to be combined?

In the text the position of a space elevator might be slightly off the equator; it seems that the horizontal force for a not perfectly vertical space elevator could be handled by regular constructions, but to be confirmed.

The text also could be clearer regarded chemically driven rockets proposals and actual rail guns/magnetic lauchers/mass drivers.

The space Elevator has problems with Phobos.

The mass driver probably has a much higher mass throughput than a space elevator, that is very long and required a large number of cars, or of 'ways' to get any kind of volume to space.
