I agree. A hybrid biodiesel
I agree. A hybrid biodiesel electric car has many advantages. It surprises me that the possibility of an electric biodiesel car was not discussed in the article. Except for the non-renewable carbon sources used to build the car the operation of the car would be net zero carbon emission and potentially extremely "green". In fact, the best situation would be if biodiesel was used to generate the electrical power while running or off line. Yes, I understand the BTU/lb of biodiesel is lower than non-renewable sourced diesel. To me the big issue is the higher taxes on conventional diesel compared to gasoline. I am not sure how that is justified unless it's to penalize diesel trucks and railroads. If the state and fed. tax on diesel was lowered to what it is on gasoline I would expect the sale of a hybrid electric biodiesel car would dramatically increase. It's about as good as it gets.
