Hydrogen will save us all!

by Gabe Posey

Las Vegas has new Hydrogen fuel cell buses! The environment is saved!

Oh, wait, you mean there’s only two? For the whole city? And it doesn’t even begin to touch the hundreds of regular diesel buses? Or the hundreds of construction vehicles that run day and night here? Or the millions of cars that run the roads ragged twenty four hours a day?

“These buses represent part of Ford Motor Company’s strategy to deliver transportation solutions that emit less CO 2 and reduce our dependence on oil,” said Sue Cischke, Ford senior vice president. Sustainability, Environment and Safety Engineering. “We are pleased to partner with the city of Las Vegas to place these buses into service so that Las Vegas residents and all its visitors will be able to experience this unique form of clean transportation.”

So basically Oscar Goodman and Ford are making a drop in the bucket for a photo-op and publicity stunt. Awesome. I can feel the air getting fresher by the moment!

And for bonus points, Harry Reid secured the earmark that spread this cost to every person in America so that Las Vegas isn’t actually paying for this. Hurray!

    It may only be 2, but that at least is a start.
