Kansas City Zoo Launches Electric Toy Train To Fight Climate Change

Actually, there's nothing wrong with new tech and introducing youngsters to electric mass transit.

However . . .

A few recent quotes on the topic remind us that the real lesson is about enforcing a politically charged narrative . . . Check-it . . . 

"The zoo launched an electric train last week to replace one of the three gas-powered trains it currently runs. CEO and executive director Sean Putney said the zoo has had the gas-powered trains since the 1970s, and that it is becoming harder to find replacement parts when needed.

But the environment is also top of mind to Putney. He said the zoo has a goal of being at carbon net zero by 2050. As Arctic Ambassadors to stop melting ice caps, he said the zoo has to do what it can. The electric train pushes them one step closer."

More deets from a recent tweet . . . 

"The KCZoo Railroad sponsored by @CPKCrail now includes an electric train! This addition replaces one of the previous gas-powered trains and is estimated to save 3,240 gallons of gas per year."
