So instead of burning natural gas in the bus, they want to burn natural gas at a power plant in Nevada or Arizona, teansmit it to San Diego, and charge the bus. Even considering the costs of transporting the natural gas, I don’t see how this saves anything.
I was stopped at a traffic light yesterday AM in Reno, and my car radio suddenly had the strangest static I have ever heard. It took me a few seconds to realize that an electric Reno transit bus was stopped nest to me, to turn left. The instant I got a separation of about 10 feet, the static stopped.
It was very strange sounding.
