Did You Know

Cool article - well done. Are you planning on nominating this for DYK? Because if not, I would nominate it. Schwede 66 11:42, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, much appreciated. I was planning to nominate it, but I was busy yesterday, so I've done it now - see here. Alzarian16 (talk) 15:20, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fine. I don't like stealing other editor's DYK thunder. Schwede 66 17:51, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Like for like units...

Transport is responsible for around 20% of London's CO2 emissions; buses make up 5% of the transport total. The city has set a target of a 20% reduction in emissions by the year 2020. Converting London's entire bus fleet to hybrid vehicles would reduce CO2 emissions by around 200,000 tonnes per year.

First part of the paragraph is percentages; second half is in absolute terms. Can someone relate the proposed saving to the current percentages like-for-like? Infojunkie23 (talk) 14:17, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The problem is that the Guardian article I used to support the sentence only give absolute terms for the second part. Unless we can find a source that gives the percentage change, we would probably fall afoul of the original research policy. Alzarian16 (talk) 10:49, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Mild Hybrid?

I would suggest that most of the hybrid buses in London should be described as mild hybrid since the electric motors are battery powered only for quite short distances.
