@jemdude22 Clean coal emits much less CO2 than conventional gas power stations and still no one knows what to do with nuclear waste

Wellington has a large amount of trolleybuses, however they aren't articulated. hmmmm, an articulated bus from the airport (unconnected) to the railroad station sounds like a good idea.
I better write to Mayor Kerry Pedergast.

Swiss public transportation takes the use of trolleybuses VERY seriously; only in the Lausanne city, at least 70% of public buses are trolleys, pricipally NAW/Hess models. The rest of the fleet is LNG or Diesel (with proper filter) powered.
That's very nice!
You can even see my vid of them: "Lausanne Trolleybus Paradise!".

At 1:50 the bus is heading out into the countryside. Surprised the lines extend that far.

They are a stupid idea. And may I ask are they environmentally friendly, where does the electric come from, a big dirty coal burning power station.

Not sure if your hometown still relies on the polluting coal-fired power stations to produce electricity, but many countries use hydro-electric schemes, natural gas or nuclear power plants.

are those antenas connected to those lines, and why???

You live in the States. Please pay a visit to Seattle, San Francisco or Dayton. They are not "antenas", the two rods are called trolley poles which are used to collect electric current from the live overhead wires.
