Into Canada’s ongoing challenges with bus fleet decarbonization comes Winnipeg, which hasn’t featured much so far in the ongoing tale of transit think tank CUTRIC’s incompetence, sole sourcing and hydrogen-centric conflicts of interest. However, it did have a role in a piece assessing Canadian bus manufacture New Flyer’s strategic missteps … [continued]
In one of my articles related to the debacle that is Canada’s transit think tank CUTRIC’s guidance and modeling on bus fleet decarbonization, especially the Brampton fleet report that was off by about $1.5 billion on a $9 billion price tag, I shared the open letter to the Board I’d … [continued]
December has been absolutely packed with big cleantech stories. The solar power and electric vehicle markets keep growing fast, evolving, and even surprising. To be honest, when I write these weekly and bi-weekly news highlights, there are ends up being far more big and noteworthy news than I expect. It … [continued]
Fuel cells provide the power for the new Pioneer 25 Extreme H race car, featured in a publicity event in Monaco earlier this week.

British Columbia in Canada has a long history with hydrogen for transportation and its constant failures. Ballard Power, the fuel cell manufacturer that pivoted away from lithium ion batteries in 1989 to the losing technology, is based in the Vancouver area. Whistler, the famed ski and mountain biking area with … [continued]
Four weeks ago, I didn’t know the Canadian Urban Transit Research and Innovation Consortium existed. If I’d seen mention of it, I probably would have assumed it as an innocuous little organization full of pleasant Canadians working diligently for the good of Canadian transit. But the onion keeps being peeled. … [continued]
Over the past three weeks, I’ve been assessing various aspects of the Canadian Urban Transit Research and Innovation Consortium’s (CUTRIC) positions, research, and publications on transit bus decarbonization. I’ve published ten articles directly about CUTRIC’s material and reports, or closely related and with serious implications for their claims that both … [continued]
The US military is supporting new drop-in hydrogen fuel propulsion systems for quiet-running zero emission aircraft and stationary energy generation.
