In Mayor Ken buys hydrogen buses for London
It seems that no matter what is proposed all that is happening is that we're pushing the energy problem around the place but not actually solving anything at all. The fact is that for as long as we have to shift shit-loads of people from one place to another twice a day, five days a week, just to make a meagre living then we are going to consume energy and produce these so-called greenhouse gasses in abundance.
Unless we come up with some miraculous new energy technology everything we try will be futile in global emissions terms. If its not a car pumping out CO2 from its zorst then it'll be something else. The problem we have to crack is how to create energy without emissions - and so far we can't. Well, not without Nuclear Power - but everyone is so up their own arse about that stuff we're not going to see a new one of those in the UK in our lifetime!
And so, idiots who govern us will spawn ridiculous ideas such as these Hindenbusses (that has got to stick!). One has to wonder about the Carbon Footprint it is going to create just to make and transport those over here. But then again TfL, under Livingstone, cause more pollution with their zealous anti-car road and traffic planning policies - see how much is put in place to slow/stop private transport from moving. All those lovely gasses belching out at four-way red lights for instance. Good Green credential TfL, not!
