In recent days I’ve become aware that a purportedly neutral and data-centric transit organization, the Canadian Urban Transit Research and Innovation Consortium (CUTRIC), has been advancing hydrogen for urban transit in contradiction of global evidence of failure. A contact forwarded me a more detailed study that they’d done for the … [continued]

Recently I published a perspective on the Canadian city of Mississauga’s plan to pilot hydrogen buses for their transit system. It included global data on the high cost and low reliability of hydrogen electrolysis and refueling systems and the high cost and low reliability of hydrogen fuel cell buses. Someone … [continued]

Climate actions have often fallen into one of two strategies: mitigation efforts to lower or remove greenhouse gas emissions from the atmosphere, and adaptation efforts to adjust systems and societies to withstand the impacts of climate change. The separation has led to the misinformed view that addressing climate change means pursuing either mitigation or adaptation
