Thanks for the welcome Kate ... I'm most definitely an open minded diesel driver.
I think there is room for several competing technologies and alternative fuel options. I sincerely believe that the diesel engine will be with us for a very longtime ... if not in cars certainly in heavy equipment, locomotives (hybrids mine you
), ships and generation equipment. I find it exciting to find clean renewable fuels like biodiesel that will provide domestic production of energy for a long time. (particularly if we end up 'algae based' biodiesel) Ask and I shall enlighten.
Nevertheless ... I'm looking forward to hearing more about hybrid technology. Thanks again for the welcome.
