It's much easier to convert the diesel infrastructure to use non-crude oil based fuel than it is to move to a hydrogen economy. Hmmm...a series of tests by the Univeristy of Colorado a few years ago indicated the a HUGH proportion of pollution comes from diesels. That's why there are strict emissions standards for diesel engines in cars here. You can *see* the smoke from trucks in the US, typically the ~17 tonner fixed body four axle construction trucks which seemed to make up 75% of the truck population in Houston. Every time they accelerated there was a *thick* pall of black smoke. Those trucks wouldn't be allowed on the roads here. -- Dylan Smith, Castletown, Isle of Man Flying: http://www.dylansmith.net Frontier Elite Universe: http://www.alioth.net "Maintain thine airspeed, lest the ground come up and smite thee" |
