Around the
same time last year, the so claimed world’s first electric road opened in central
Sweden, it is a 2-kilometre strip on the motor way where trucks can switch to
non-fossil energy (through the pantograph power collector on the top). This was
reported as a pioneer technology for sustainable energy and a milestone for the
renewable energy transportation, however I was deeply confused.
I am
confused not because this technique is too difficult for my brain, but because
such “hybrid” vehicles was running everywhere in my city while I was a child,
and since when it became a ground-breaking technique again in the western
world?
Characterised
by the two long “plait” on top of the bus, the electric
driven buses were used for decades in China and are still in use in some
cities. This might not be driven by a green source of electric power such as
solar power, however electric is electric, I have no idea how an ancient
technique can be repacked as an evolutionary renewable energy solution.
Well, I guess it’s not always about true or
false in the massive “green” energy industry, decorated ideas that attract more
funding and profits play a more important role.
