You get it.
What a sad, sad confluence. Imagine being an engineer there who brought this thing to fruition
At least one Freeper I taked with off line was on the program.
I know someone on the program, but naturally talks in generalities to my technical questions. When I see them, we often talk about the industry from a macro large fly over view. A very sharp, sharp engineer.....
Spot on on Diesels.
Go over to GreenCarCongess and look at Yesterday's Post on Ricardo's and Ford's Ethanol Direct Injection efforts because odf the technical hurdles that Diesels still posess from an emissions standpoint.

IMHO opinion Diesels are dead, It is just that the diesel heads just don't know it yet......
Maybe in the near term. If fuel gets back to $5-7/gal, once people figure out DC powered transport doesn't fly in the real world, they may eventually tell the EPA to pound sand.
We can do that, you know, representative democracy and whatnot.
