Hydrogen Buses In Iceland

Posted by samzenpus on from the clean-air dept.

dapyx writes "As part of the shift away from the fossil fuels, Iceland began its switch to hydrogen-powered buses, which are now used on the streets of the capital, Reykjavik. About 70 percent of Iceland's energy is already met by green power. Iceland plans to become the first oil-free country by 2050."

    See kids? This is what we call a "Conservative Troll".

    A great deal of the world's power comes from nuclear reactors and hydroelectric dams. So you can extract hydrogen from water without ever using oil. As wind and solar power become economical and lingering fears about nuclear power are dissolved, we'll see even more "green" power. Not that I expect a conservative troll to believe this -- being American means ignoring facts that you don't like.

    Incorrect; Icelanders are a snobbish, lazy and more-or-less insane (bjork) bunch. I'd rather have americans (shudder) living on iceland than the icelanders themselves...

    Stuff like that is a good reason for the U.S. not to be involved in that weird Kyoto pyramid scheme.
