Do they hook you into it as you ride?

Sort of “Pay as you go”?

i drive a methane car every day to work! in stockholm sweden there is a handfull of “biogas” stations to get methane gas localy produced, all our city busses are switching to biogas (produced from raw sewage) co2 neutral, better to use it than let it go to waste!

All the big car manufacturer are making methangas car now, god to the local economy and the nature.

I thought methane’s main greenhouse effect was due to it hanging around in the atmosphere, rather than burning it. Although it releases CO2, a lot of this can be controlled through carbon capture.

The Norwegian word for “bus” is actually “buss”.

I’ve been saying this for years now. Take all that Poo and put it’s decomposition to good use, it’s giving off these gasses anyway.

Natural gas is methane, which is orderless.

Methane-powered busses = taco-flavored kisses?

Pedant alert: “Buss” means kiss. The plural of “bus” is “buses”.
