"Disappointed"? I thought you would all run me out of town!

You really have to see this thing in person. It's INSANELY BIG and gets 25% better fuel use than its non-hybrid brother.

That's not peanuts when you consider how large and powerful these things are, and how much fuel they use. I find it exciting that a wide variety of industries are embracing hybrids and other appropriate uses of technology for reducing fuel use.

This thing is the first of its kind, and I'm sure we'll see more in the future.
