Hydrogen Buses Off Road Because There Is No Hydrogen

Ha Ha Ha !!!
 

Officials in Aberdeen launched the 25 eco-friendly buses, worth about £500,000 each, in a blaze of publicity and promoted them as the future.

The world’s first hydrogen double decker buses have been stuck in the depot for nearly a YEAR after fuel ran out. Officials in Aberdeen launched the 25 eco-friendly buses, worth about £500,000 each, in a blaze of publicity and promoted them as the future.

Both of the city’s hydrogen stations are currently offline, leaving the multi-million pound investment unable to operate. Councillor Deena Tissera, Labour’s lead on net zero and transport in Aberdeen, has raised concerns about the situation.


She said: "A lot of public money has been invested in this hydrogen strategy, especially on the buses and the refilling stations. We need to know what the story behind this is. Why are the buses not running?"

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Well, most of it here seems to be hanging out with oxygen atoms.

You shouldn't pour cold water on their hydrogen bus plan.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-
