Think HYBRIDS
Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert and Dallas Area Rapid Transit board members pushing natural gas buses as “clean” are wrong. So, too, though, are other DART board members, and Dallas City Council members who say the answer is staying with straight-up diesel buses.
The correct answer? Hybrid buses, of which GM is the world’s top maker.
Yes, THAT GM, the company that won’t build a full-hybrid car.
The wrong answer is natural gas, both because Dallas won’t recoup the extra cost, when natural gas prices go back up, and because T. Boone Pickens is hawking the idea.
Note to Boone, and Leppert: Not all the natural gas is “ours,” either. We’re a net importer. Pickens is a shyster and Leppert’s a moron.
