LA buses

Here is an example of how the government is not looking at all the ways to lower CO2. Vice President Kamala Harris will announce the Environmental Protection Agency's $500 million Clean School Bus rebate program for schools to replace old diesel buses with electric and low-emission ones during a visit to a Virginia school Friday, the White House said in a news release. Since 2005 LA buses have been running on natural gas. With more than a million riders each day counting on their buses being on time, the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) needs a clean, cost-efficient, reliable fuel supply. That's why its entire fleet of more than 2,250 buses runs on compressed natural gas (CNG). By switching to CNG, Metro has reduced cancer-causing particulates from the bus fleet by 98 percent, carbon monoxide by 80 percent and greenhouse gases by about 150 tons per day, pointing out that Metro is seeing fuel cost savings of approximately $60 million to $70 million each year.
