Hydrogen Buses

There’s a video today from Reuters describing how London is piloting an advanced hydrogen hybrid bus, complete with a waste-to-energy hydrogen production facility.

This reminded me of a really great little TV show from Nova that I flagged to you a few years back:  Car of the Future.  Nova visited Iceland for the segment of their show on hydrogen vehicles and laid out the entire (geothermal) wells-to-wheels scenario.  It’s informative and a hoot to boot with Tom and Ray Magliozzi, the idiot savants from “Car Talk” taking us on the tour.

Watch the full episode. See more NOVA.
