    I think diesels are the future... and fuel cell...

    Hybrids are a waste of money and for the environment... Its just my opinion though...

    I think hybrids is a good "inbetween" development vehicle.

    Consider the time when the automobile was new. There were three types of propulsion systems generally in use:

    -internal combustion engine
    -steam driven
    -electric power

    In the end, the internal combustion engine won.

    Maybe this time, with the new developments in technology, we can see a shift in the choice of powerplants for automobiles.

The first hybrid race win in a Toyota SUPRA hybrid.
