Hybrid Diesels


Already, across the pond, there are vehicles that are capable of attaining 70 mpg's. Obviously, what is created here pales in comparison to what is being manufactured in Europe. It is a shame that we have not embraced the diesel engine yet. I guess, seeing as how there are a number of people who's concern for the environment trumps their concern for their fellow man, that I should not be surprised. But what if you could look past that dirty diesel engine that gets almost double the most efficient gas engine engineers can come up with and look for ward to that dirty diesel engine with an electric motor. Yes, the future is now. Yes, now there is an opportunity to couple fuel economy with concern for the environment. A miracle you say? How about good common sense with a diesel engine attached.
