Visual impact of these wires: positive. Let's stop requiring expensive reports and mitigations before putting them in. It's time to pass AB 2503 to exempt electric rail from CEQA and accelerate implementation of this transformative green technology! #CatenaryNow
The world is dangerously close to climate thresholds and needs to cut emissions by 40% by 2030. Yet Caltrans and Metrolink are wasting time with unproven hydrogen instead of committing to real ZE solutions like electric rail. We don't have time to spare, #CatenaryNowwww.latimes.com/world-nation...
Every bit of planetary warming will have impacts beyond those already occurring, including biodiversity loss, longer heat waves and extreme rainfall.
A lot of hype for battery locos too weak to operate outside of dual mode, meanwhile catenary freight trains have exist for decades for heavy applications. CARB invests in experimental battery tech but won't electrify the Alameda corridor- why?? #CatenaryNowwww.canarymedia.com/articles/tra...
