The hybrid bus, is hardly green at all.
Just think of the production of its huge-ass battery, just how
much rare earth would be needed to mine, and then the production
process, how much CO2 would be produced at the same time (if you
will), and then the by-products created that would be disposed
somehow.
Its just a novelty.
Nothing more.
At the end of the day, its just as bad to the environment. Its
just where the pollution goes, and when its mostly produced. Even
if the CO2 produced by the bus is reduced, if we focus on the Kyoto
Protocol, then we're simply transferring the carbon credit to
another place in the world, where the rare earth gets mined and
refined.
In other words, we're still not doing enough for the environment
and the hype over such a bus is therefore somewhat meaningless.
Yeah very true.No matter what,humans are always destroying the
earth bit by bit and then they claim it's 'environmentally
friendly' when they come up with something new.Like u say,no matter
what they come up with,they are still harming the environment
anyway.
