Electric buses! Oh my!

The middle aged people and the younger ones probably think they are living in innovative times.   We are converting our city buses to electric buses instead of polluting internal combustion engines.  Well hold on to your hats ladies and gentlemen.    When I was a kid all the buses in Chicago were electric.  All of them.  They ran underneath overhead power lines.  They made a lot of sparks, and the power lines were not all that attractive, but they were all electric buses.  Seems we have come full circle, only we don’t have the ugly power lines.  Hmmm.  In other words it only took sixty years to get rid of those power lines.  The rest is all the same.  Not so innovative after all.
