Hey, be smart. You are part of the solution, not part of the

There are two versions of it...

and bus:

OK, how is the bus not polluting?
You don't see it everyday, but it's possible. Just some new
technologies and some political will to make it happen...
Heaven Help Bus
A visit to Iceland spurs dreams of a hydrogen future
The loneliness of the long-distance rider.I have seen the future,
and
it works.
The 111 bus rolls quietly up to the Mjodd terminal in eastern
Reykjavik at 11:19 a.m., and I climb aboard. For 45 minutes, we
cruise
through the suburbs and then to the central square downtown, picking
up and discharging eight passengers along the way. Fuel cells that
would have filled the space of several passenger seats five years
ago
are now small enough to fit in the roof panels. And out the exhaust
pipe: a trickle of water.

I have a dream...that someday buses will not pollute. Actually we
could make it happen now much easier than having all the cars be
replaced with hybrid. Just change the fleet of buses to hydrogen or
some other technologies out there.
We can make it happen with THE REVOLUTION. Coming soon...
Too optimistic. Somebody, somewhere is probably burning coal or oil to
make the electricity to electrolyze the water to make the Hydrogen.
It only really works if the electricity comes from wind, solar, hydro,
or, dare I say it, NUculear (Bush pronunciation).

Anything which makes a bus more efficient would make a car even more
efficient than the bus. Right now transit buses waste fuel big time.
Not all, I think I read somewhere where a city went to Electrics.
Ok, that exports pollution to rural areas.
Nope, we run out tricity from Hydroelectric around here and export it to
other regions. If you are in California you can almost bet that there are a
couple or three megawatts passing through.
And of course a plug-in hybrid
electric car would meet about 90% of the commuting needs of America.
And still pollute like any other gasoline powered car. Newsflash, the
electric power is made from Gasoline.
