Good for the girls! That urine powered hydrogen gas driven generator is a basic, useful thing to have in Africa … and elsewhere.

This report of course has received no attention from U.S. corporate media, but I take it as a big datapoint on what is going to become a major trend: the electrification of commercial vehicles of all kinds. As the article points out most of the long term cost of a commercial bus is in the fuel it burns. So electric buses, which don't burn carbon energy, will be notably cheaper. What should also be noted is that the technology is Chinese. The Chinese like most of the rest of the world except the U.S., take infrastructure seriously, including commercial transportation networks from planes to trains to buses. While we are burning our money in the bonfire of war, China is building and upgrading infrastructure. And they are going to make billions and billions of dollars outfitting the buses and taxis of the post-carbon world, while the U.S. plays catch-up. The problem America's mega corporations have is that they are inherently wedded to the past, because the past is when their installed network was built, and they want to protect and prolong that investment.

Google: The Forever Rising Revenue Starship
Will legal hassles, cost cutting, the surge in mobile usage, and the challenges of making money in China and Russia slow the Forever Rising, the new monetary interstellar vehicle? Absolutely not. Lawyers, even countries, cannot exert sufficient gravitational pull to cause the money craft to veer from its trajectory.
Phi Beta Iota: Google is the poster child for death of capitalism as reductionism, joining Microsoft, Oracle, IBM, and Dell, among others that sold out to NSA, are pimped by the banks, and are not delivering real value toward the needs of the five billion poorest, the 99%.
