There are twelve new electric school buses on the road in Charlottetown this week. The buses are from Lion Electric. As a safety precaution, they play a musical tone in place of the grumble of a diesel engine. I’ve heard it going passed my house just this morning.

It’s nice to see a small step to reduce carbon emissions. About 25% of our electricity on Prince Edward Island comes from on-Island wind generation, and hopefully this number will grow soon.

I look forward to these being so common that I come to hate their music.
