Siemens, Deutsche Bahn launch local hydrogen trains trial

 "Siemens Mobility and Deutsche Bahn have started developing hydrogen-powered fuel cell trains and a filling station which will be trialled in 2024 with view to replace diesel engines on German local rail networks."

Fuel Cells are well fit for rail networks. Cheaper than electrifying the rail network.

3 Reasons Why Cheap Abundant Electricity Is Getting Closer To Reality

Quantum Dots Make Better Solar Panels
"According to Science Daily, researchers at the University of Queensland have set a new world record for the conversion of solar energy to electricity using quantum dots — which pass electrons between one another and generate electrical current when exposed to solar energy in a solar cell device. The solar devices they developed have beaten the existing solar conversion record by 25%."
