You are part of the solution, not part of the problem. And you save the buck. Dinosaurs are a thing of the past and the little furry animals are here to stay. There are two versions of it... bike: http://www.zazzle.com/product/235847689274986069 and bus: http://www.zazzle.com/product/235396990102826110 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. http://www.grist.org/comments/soapbo...n-hydrogenbus/ 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). Bill Baka 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. And of course a plug-in hybrid electric car would meet about 90% of the commuting needs of America. |
