Electricity comes from:
Nuclear, Hydro, Solar, Wind, Gas, Coal, and more
If using electricity, it is FREE to change fuel source. How much to convert all trains to nuclear/solar/electricity/... if all oil imports are blocked?
- pyre 17y agoI wasn't saying that. I debunking the statement, "Our trains are on electricity, so we're 'greener' than you with your diesel trains." Neither fuel efficiency nor the ratio of pollution to energy produced have anything to do with the cost to convert to different energy methods. On a side note, I doubt that the amount of money it takes to convert a fleet of locomotives to electricity is even in the same ballpark as the cost to build a nuclear power plant. This also doesn't take into account any loss of power due to transmission distance, heat generated in the lines due to resistance, etc.
