I've wanted to see a Diesel-electric hybrid for many years; actually since
many years before Toyota and Honda started with the gasoline-elec hybrids.

I would love to see the milage rating for a diesel-electric hybrid, should
be about 30% greater than a gas/electric for city driving. Same deal on
the highway, though -- worse than the equivalent non/ hybrid.
Hydrogen fuel is a pipe dream -- the only current source is de- carbonized
methane, so the CO2 (and all that heat/work) is dumped into the
atmosphere during manufacture. "Sequestration" is bu...it too -- who
wants a volcano of CO2 snow when the underground storage blows out (as it
will, surely).
Better to burn the methane direct and DRIVE LESS!
