Tough To Compete With China In Clean Tech
Check out the story I wrote here on China's new combination bus/train, which is due to debut in Beijing next year. Powered by either electricity or solar energy, it will carry as many as 1,400 passengers on the top level as it straddles cars that drive along the road underneath. The bus/train tackles two big problems in urban China -- air pollution (because it gets people out of their cars) and traffic jams (because it moves along with the cars underneath it rather than adding to traffic) -- and can be built in a third of the time it would take to build a subway.
