Known for its bouts of heavy smog, the city of Los Angeles on Thursday announced plans to have a fleet of fully electric, zero-emissions buses by 2030.
Authorities in the US metropolis said the project, which involves the purchase of 2,200 vehicles, would cost some $1 billion over the next ten years.
"Today's vote represents an enormous investment in the future of a healthy and prosperous Los Angeles," said Hilda Solis, a Metro Board Member.
The current fleet operates on compressed natural gas (CNG), seen as the most environmentally-friendly option when the buses were purchased in the 1990s.
A CNG coalition had previously protested the transition, arguing that, while the goals were worthy, electric buses were not yet a reliable technology.

The last time I saw him he was walking down Lover's Lane holding his own hand.

Maybe E-f ran into some wannabe actors who are always "on".
Hermosa Beach
As E-f notes, you found the boring White people in South Bay.
The most exciting thing ever there was The Beach Boys.
Oh, and the time that the cops shot the shit out of the pickup truck with those 2 gals in it when they thought they had that rogue cop/cop killer.
He mentions Bell, CA which is a bedroom community that is mostly just hard-working people--if you don't count their very crooked city gov't. [google.com]
I can't imagine how he ever ended up there--or in Pacoima.
My guess is that he encountered people who aren't lily white and aren't Reactionary and his tiny little brain imploded.
Knowing that most of them could kick the living shit out of him if he ever opened his big stupid mouth with his usual bigoted drivel is likely to have really soured him on multi-cultural L.A.
