Using 2 engines to power 1 car that still runs on hydrocarbons? And if you use full electricity you still have to get that from somewhere which, at least for the next 15 years, would be coal and after that nuclear. Seems like where we should be investing our dollars is in clean coal and clean diesel technology. Why? Both engine technologies and distribution systems already exist. Cleaning up the technologies will be, to begin, primarily a matter of retrofitting. These are full solutions that could be in place in 2-5 years. The switch then from diesel to bio-diesel would be almost trivial. And bio-diesel could even replace coal. That's why I fail to see any value whatsoever in hybrids. They're an evolutionary dead-end unless there's something I'm missing. And bio-diesel solves world hunger and poverty since it would give farmers the world over an easy way to make money. It's a slam dunk. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Check out the new features and enhancements in the latest product release - download the "What's New PDF" now http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/coldfusion/cf8_beta_whatsnew_052907.pdf Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:247535 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
