I was astonished to hear the launch of the Green Party general election "Battle 
Bus" in London this week. When asked "what is so green about this battle bus?" 
the spokesperson defended it in terms of it being a red London bus of 1954 
vintage, thus demonstrating that products can be designed for a long life and 
not trashed for a new model every few years. Good point, I thought, but what 
about the diesel? 
Could they be using biodiesel for this bus (without having to make any changes 
to the engine/carb, bearing in mind that the Green Party have probably borrowed 
the bus from a collector of vintage vehicles who is likely to be most 
protective about it)?
 Where would they obtain the fuel locally?
This seems to me like a huge missed opportunity, in view of the publicity they 
received, and its not too late to do something.
