This is a great discussion. As an armed forces employee I would really like to see this nation provide its own fuel source and not have to depend on the middle east for fuel. For the transition to all diesel vehicles, I think they should use the same policy as hybrids (that is the tax break for people who own them). As for cost of research and development, this 5 year war with the middle east has put this nation trillions of dollars in debt. If they would have just put a 1/4 of that into an alternate fuel fund, I might not be in Iraq today. That being said I hope this thread keeps going. JONNY
