diesel buses are gonna be replaced by electric buses. i feel like this is a new model for politicians, which is, bring the change home, and even if it may seem negligible, that matters to people on the ground. seeing the federal government after work improving communities actually bears goodwill. is that the experience you ve had, admittedly, in a short time in office, but just hearing from your constituents, how much does it matter for them to literally to see the change on the roads, on their corners? that s exactly right. that s what the electors. for the electors to actually do the work on the ground that is going to have a direct impact. i remember in the first day that i took office, i signed executive orders they did everything from releasing three point $5 million in funding for previously withheld funding for abortion providers in training for abortion providers, because when i said maryland is gonna be a safe haven for abortion

[ applause ] we ve already started. so every child in pandemic, so every american can turn on a faucet at home or at school and drink clean water. a significant number of minority communities can t access affordable high-speed internet, as you all know, and you ve told me for years. we re going to make sure that every community has access to affordable high-speed internet so no parent has to drive to a mcdonald s parking lot to have their kid sign in for connect

to get these clean and green buses from a to b, hydrogen refuelling stations were set up around aberdeen. it s just like filling the bus with diesel. instead, the pumps are stocked with hydrogen. when do you think diesel is consigned to the, you know, the garages of history, and the majority of your fleet are running on renewable products? 5 10 years? definitely. i think it s i mean, certainly first, as a group, will not be buying any more diesel buses in the future. it will be electric or gas, or hydrogen buses. thank you, driver. thank you. but it s notjust buses looking to hydrogen as a fuel of the future. this is the first of its kind zero emission hydrogen electric hgv, which runs off renewable electricity. and, like the hydrogen buses, water is its only waste. in the hgv sector, we re seeing that hydrogen is the only technology that s able to give the long range, the heavy payloads, and the quick
