Bad Bob won't "sufficiently" acknowledge that natural gas has problems....not!. Just not sufficiently for your bit of editorial gainsay.....

The problem is not my political correctness. It is yours.
Glad to here your community has been testing some E-buses. And, since when have I ever said there aren't "huge environmental problems with extraction of natural gas through fracking which are not sufficiently acknowledged by you (me)".
Yep, maybe not "sufficiently" for your tastes. but of course, you're not being defensive. And, of course you aren't addressing the specific serious range and cost issues with current generation E-buses.
Since you are such an expert on maintenance costs being so much "lower" for e-buses versus buses powered by CNG or Diesel, what percentage of total hourly bus operating cost is maintenance for e-buses versus conventional transit buses. So, of course you do know that maintenance is actually a very small component of total hourly costs for bus operations. So, do the maintenance savings really offset down time and lost operating productivity due to recharging time, as you seemed to assert in your "defensive" attack on my obvious ignorance about these things? Where's that peer reviewed paper? I definitely want to read it....
