This is the propaganda I can get behind.
And with trolleybuses powered on a renewable grid, it's zero gallons!
We used to have trolleybuses when I was a kid in the 70's, they were so insanely much more nice to ride than a diesel. No bad smell, and they were smooth and quiet.
I guess we will get back to something similar soon, but with batteries.
It's still a shame because the batteries are less environmentally friendly than the old trolley busses.
Yes in some aspects, it's like we are moving backwards. Funny since the talk about environment is more serious now than back then, still we often use unnecessarily polluting solutions, where the older "too expensive" solutions were viable when we had way less money as a country than we have now?
One would have thought the oil crisis had made us keep the trolley busses?
