It just seems like a way for oil companies to funnel the governments money into dead end technology instead of grabbing the low-hanging fruit.

Thanks for being so honest!
I was skeptical myself when President Bush championed the technology. I decided early on that it was a rue to make Americans think something was being done about our oil dependence. I have met thoughtful people who for what ever reason were not forced to consider, to start with, that hydrogen was not a source for energy.
If you have the time please visit my web site:

And regarding diesels: Would not a diesel hybrid be a good idea. The diesel could run at its cleanest and most efficient speed and the electric motors could take care of acceleration when it is needed.
