@mwfc@chaos.social @jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net @wikkit@mastodon.social Yes, of course diesel trains are still better than buses or even cars. But upgrading to battery trains would save emissions.

@wonka@chaos.social @mwfc@chaos.social @jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net @wikkit@mastodon.social Looking at the diesel train connection to Norddeich, that might take some 30(?) years to finish.

@wonka@chaos.social And this is the thing. A not available battery cart there, and going electric in 3 years is most likely not better. A new built battery cart and going electric in 3 years is most likely not better either An old cart with diesel reused and going electric in 3 years is most likely the best option You get more runtime out of build equipment You can start NOW This argument is mostly like not taking trains because they use 40% Coal Power. So we wait until Datteln is gone @jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net @wikkit@mastodon.social
