Subject: [EVDL] Hydrogen trains.
Dear Caltrans,
I am sending this email to multiple recipients.Hydrogen is the most wasteful
and inefficient use of electric power. Nothing beats direct use of energy via
overhead lines. This is especially true with trains as they are on fixed
routes. Upcoming projects are likely abandoned, due to high cost, when federal
assistance runs out. Somebody could stop the waste now.
Caltrans' Division of Rail and Mass Transportation is pushing to convert its
full fleet of intercity locomotives to zero emission by 2035. Caltrans is
helping the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority with their purchase
of trains as part of the Redlands Passenger Rail Project that will function as
a local commuter service and provide service into Los Angeles.
A hydrogen fuel cell train is to be rolled out in Sacramento, California, as
part of a $97m funding award from the US government that will...increase the
deficit.
I hope an accountant points out the advantage of overhead lines. Sincerely,
Lawrence Rhodes CaliforniaTaxpayer.
