If, however, they ARE powering their transit system with truly renewable energy, AWESOME! I hope to hear about more cities following suit. -David Kuykendall, LEED AP www.cleanedison.com - David Kuykendall Fri, 19 Jun 2009 18:02:35 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/preventing-pollution/2795-subway-in-bilbao-spain-powered-completely-by-renew#comment-27707 Naturgas means natural gas and since it doesn't say what renewable energy was used I suspect it wasn't renewable at all, but antural gas. Ofcourse that may produce less CO2 than what they used before but it's certainly not green. - Slowking Wed, 17 Jun 2009 03:09:27 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/preventing-pollution/2795-subway-in-bilbao-spain-powered-completely-by-renew#comment-27628 Calgary's LRT system is run by wind power as well. Not sure that Bilbao is the first metro system to accomplish the feat, but it is commendable nonetheless. - Ian Thu, 11 Jun 2009 20:12:44 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/preventing-pollution/2795-subway-in-bilbao-spain-powered-completely-by-renew#comment-27622 Here in Norway we have nearly all renewable energy. And we´ve had it for 100 years. So I guess you can say our trains have run on clean energy for ages, then how come Spain is the first? - Tommy Thu, 11 Jun 2009 15:50:48 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/preventing-pollution/2795-subway-in-bilbao-spain-powered-completely-by-renew#comment-27609 I'm not sure the claim of being the first is correct. In the province of Quebec in Canada electricity is mostly coming from huge hydro facilities in the north of the province. Perhaps not the best environmental alternative but it is a renewable energy source. The metro in Montreal goes back to the 1960's - dofa Wed, 10 Jun 2009 20:22:56 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/preventing-pollution/2795-subway-in-bilbao-spain-powered-completely-by-renew#comment-27590 I'm curious what sort of renewable energy was provided by a company called "Naturgas". - Matt Simmons Wed, 10 Jun 2009 15:02:36 +0100
