Hi Greg;

You liked that one eh??

Here is another (appended).

These Chines Hybrid electric buses will get from 30 to 100 or more miles
per gallon of diesel -- depending how far apart the windmill-farm charging
stations are.

And carrying 40 and more people!

The modern countries have so far to go before they practice what they preach.
