If hydrogen is actually costing 6 to 15 times the energy to manufacture, will cost trillions to provide the infrastructure, then why are so many trying to push it? If battery powered vehicles (full electrics) are only able to get 20 to 75 miles per charge, why do we like them? Personally I like the idea of the new clean diesel engines being provided, and mated with hybrid technology. Pros? Diesel fuel infrastructure is already in place, only needs a little expansion. Hybrid tech is already showing itself to be superior to hydrogen in durability, and in cost savings. Cons - I dont really see them modern diesels are cleaner, quieter and more powerful than ever. Hybrids, especially with the American mindset of GO GO GO are showing they can go and save fuel. Tell me some of your ideas and thoughts on this topic. Enjoy
Personally, I would like that 75MILE charge electric car, BUT with an on-board DIESEL generator to double, triple or quadruple the range or more.
Maybe diesel hybrids are the way to go, bio-diesel is a renewable source of energy. I just am not sure of the scale renewable bio-diesel can go to before something else starts to be a problem, enviornmentally or otherwise.
My father has bought a VW diesel unfortunately he bought before the new really clean blueteck diesels came out but i too think this is the way to go. when we were talking to the salesmen at the VW dealer they said Supposedly you can literally breath from the tailpipe of the diesels due out in 08. personally ill let him try it.
