Have you forgotten? Batteries must be charged. Usually by the
cheapest energy we have, fossil fuel. Might study physics enough to know
that every time we convert energy that originally came from the sun we
lose a great amount of it. These government grant are just wasting our
money, until we take a more direct route and finally release the atom
allowing us to convert water to hydrogen.

Hi Steven,
Great sites, diesel is a hundred times dirtier than gasoline.
From:
http://www.ucsusa.org/clean_vehicles...fm?pageID=1307
"Gasoline vehicles are more cost effective than diesel for reducing oil
use and lowering global warming pollution.
From:
http://www.ucsusa.org/clean_vehicles...cfm?pageID=230
"While increasing the number of diesel vehicles on the road offer only a
modest potential reductions in global warming pollution, it poses a
significant rick to air quality. Under current emission standards for
cars and trucks, diesels are allowed to pollute over twice as much
nitrogen oxides as gasoline vehicles, and 10 to 100 times more
particulate matter. Nitrogen oxides are a main precursor to smog (urban
ozone), and particulate aggravate respiratory problems, including
asthma, and have been associated with premature death."
That's enough for me.
