I really couldn't care less about my carbon footprint either. So, "whilst" they contemplate hybrids and natural gas I'll keep burning diesel as long as I can.

“when i step on the gas, i expect things to happen NOW, not later “ —> and that’s what good hybrid technology CAN do —> set it on electric when you are in stop-start traffic or idling and then give you the push when you need it. Think of this —> you drive your F150 and you’re in a long tailback. During this while, why not have the car automatically switch to electric to keep it rolling, yet not use up gas? And then when you get out of the jam and go uphill, your car switches to gas and gives you the bhp you need.
