Amazing!!!

Germany officially launched the world’s first passenger rail line powered entirely by hydrogen

They run 621 miles on a single tank and only emit water v***r. This saves over 4,000 tons of CO₂ a year.

They started operating in 2022. Developed by French company Alstom, the trains use hydrogen fuel cells to generate electricity, emitting only steam and water v***r.

The Coradia iLint trains can travel up to 621 miles on a single tank and reach speeds of 86 mph, refueling at newly installed hydrogen filling stations.

Though most hydrogen is currently produced using fossil fuels, the rail operator aims to transition to renewable sources like wind energy in the near future. As electrification remains too costly for low-traffic routes, hydrogen-powered trains offer a viable, climate-conscious solution — and countries like France and Italy are already following suit.

However, despite Germany leading the world in hydrogen train adoption, real-world operations have hit some roadblocks.

The country’s largest hydrogen fleet, 27 iLINT trains ordered for Frankfurt’s Taunus network in a $500 million contract, had to be withdrawn in late 2024 due to performance and reliability issues. And eighteen trains are currently being overhauled to include more powerful fuel cells and expanded hydrogen storage.

In the meantime, some older diesel trains are temporarily back in service.

Hydrogen supply logistics have also proven problematic — trains need to refuel at chemical plants with restricted access, causing delays and operational inefficiencies.

Im in total support of this work!

Though Geena Davis can't quite believe it's been three decades since she starred in the hit 1992 film “A League of Their Own,” the Award-winning actor embraces and regularly celebrates its legacy with fans and her costars.

"It's weird because it certainly doesn't feel like it was 30 years ago," Davis told People Magazine recently at a Cinespia screening for the film's 30th anniversary.

Davis played catcher Dottie Hinson in the beloved film opposite Tom Hanks' cranky manager Jimmy Dugan, plus Madonna, Rosie O'Donnell, Lori Petty and many others. Davis says she's kept in touch with the majority of her castmates over the years.

“The girls and I are all still in contact and we still remain a team," Davis said. "Anne Ramsay is a very close friend of mine, she played first basewoman Helen Haley.

Aloha to all who find their way here. Oasis Gallery lives on in spirit but alas, the brick and morter gallery in Palm Springs, California has been closed since July 2018. The fierce summer heat and lack of buyers strolling Palm Canyon Drive did us in, sadly.
Many of the items we sold, such as Tahitian Pearls, Paintings by Local Artist Karine M Swenson, and unique Art Glass items can still be sourced direct from the artists. PM us if you’re searching for something you once saw in our gallery, be well, take care of yourselves and Thrive!
