Whenever my wife sees some old guy in a hot sports car, she yells "Sorry about your penis!" GM should develop a diesel hybrid quickly. You would get the fuel economy of the diesel together with decent acceleration provided by batteries or ultracaps. Sounds win-win especially if we start producing biodiesel commercially. The Indonesians are seriously looking at Palm oil. If I was an oil company conspirator, I would help fund every whining, ceaselessly complaining enviro-group around ( but isn't that most of them?) Wind turbines kill birds, biodiesel starves the poor, new power plants ( and everything else) causes cancer and if that fails, just do the NIMBY mantra. It's amazing that the human race has come this far.............
