5. Hydrogen Buses

Why Hydrogen?

Hydrogen buses are not only sustainable with the use of green hydrogen but also environmentally friendly due to the zero tailpipe emissions. Both of these combined help to tackle both climate change and improve air quality in our local area. 
The refueling of the buses takes less than 10 minutes and they don’t need to be recharged or refueled throughout the day, so that’s more time out on the road serving our passengers.
Hydrogen buses offer a smoother and quieter ride, providing fewer vibrations when on the road, making the overall journey more comfortable. This also makes the buses ideal for the intensive 24/7 routes, operating 365 days a year, and heavy passenger loads.

The idea that science is elite knowledge and we must defer decisions to a few superior beings who are fully scientifically literate is every bit as anti-intellectual as medieval superstition. When it comes to the development and scaling of technology, an understanding of some principles of engineering and economics is just as important. And a claim that one and only one source of energy is valid for use is just absurd.

Also, insulting journalists mirrors the attitude of one who calls them the enemy of the people. Are they "anti-nukes", too?
