  1. Moscow, Russia has about 2,300 electric buses and plans to at least double that number, getting rid of all of it’s diesel buses. The buses do have small diesel heaters for the winter climate but the air quality in Moscow has markedly improved over the years. Maybe we need to hire a few old Soviet engineers to get the show on the road? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_buses_in_Moscow

    1. “Electric buses replenish their energy reserves within 6 to 10 minutes using ultra-fast charging stations at terminal stops.”

      If you build the infrastructure and run them in a closed loop in a city, it can work. I’m guessing the electricity isn’t provided by renewables though.

  2. Remember the goal.
    Dim the sun to reduce CO2 which reduces the processing of CO2 by trees increasing the CO2. Dim the sun reducing available sunlight so that solar panels don’t work at peak efficiency (do they ever?) reducing the available electricity to charge the electric batteries on the electric buses.

    Ideologues cannot think past the ends of their fingers and for most, not even that far.

  3. The sun dimmers: Do they understand the atmosphere at all? Do they think that their dimming aerosols will stay where they sprinkle them, despite the prevailing upper winds that are constantly moving the atmosphere around the planet?

    Of course they don’t understand. They’re ideologues, not scientists, not even meteorologists. They are on the same level of the eco-loons that blame oilsands production for the fire in Jasper. These folks think that reducing Canada’s CO2 emissions will help Canada. They are blissfully unaware that China’s enormous CO2 output drifts eastward, and we breath it every day, while our trees and flowers and vegetables take it in and turn it into oxygen for us to breathe and into carbon, joined with hydrogen and oxygen from water to form carbohydrates to build leaves and stems and blossoms and trunks and apples and carrots. CO2? The stuff of life. Houses are made of it. And so are we.
