Better and cleaner Transport for Europe

Traffic jams, pollution, waste of time and energy - numerous cities are faced with problems such as harmful emissions and lack of efficient mobility for users. There is no one magic formula to solve this. Solutions integrate technological advances such as hydrogen and biofuel powered buses with transport policy measures such as traffic management, an example being the restricted access to the centre of London. A wide range of experiments are carried out by cities. Apart from its financial support for sustainable mobility initiatives taken by cities, the European Union works in partnership with them, particularly through the CIVITAS network, in order to stimulate the exchange of know-how and experience.

Using biomass makes some sense, but the total inputs in to making traditional and new types of energy need to be measured. There's more about biofuels on the Big Biofuels Blog.

1. BioFuels is usually worse than petroleum in greenhouse emissions.

2. Higher Fuel Economy. Good.

3. Electric. Good.

4. Hydrogen. Bad, worse than oil unless exclusively from wind/solar.

5. Air. Kinda crappy efficiency for electricity storage.

6. Saltwater. It's Fake.

There is a quick fix! Make public transport reliable, accessible and affordable; inform the public on how cars pollute, cause stress and are bad for your health, and make cities look ugly; and tell the truth about advanced technologies such as fuel from air pressure and seawater. There you go :)
