Hybrids and biodiesel: A powerful combination

Earlier this week I made a post that paired off hybrid cars and bio-diesel vehicles (Read the article). Every time I write something about bio-diesel, I seem to offend some bio-diesel proponents. Still, I'm glad there are so many fans of bio-diesel because I DO believe this fuel offers immense possibilities to reduce foreign oil dependency.

While I ultimately believe that hybrid technology is more important than bio-diesel, I also believe that a bio-diesel hybrid would make the best hybrid vehicle, except for a solar-plug-in-biodiesel hybrid vehicle.

Of course, today, there simply aren't enough hybrids to make much of a difference in fighting foreign oil dependency, which highlights why bio-diesel is so important right now.

Tomorrow; however, today's 30 or 40 mpg bio-diesel cars could be 100, 200, or even 500 mpg plug-in-bio-diesel hybrids, and that is why it is so important that we invest in hybrid technology.

The focus of alternative energy and fuels shouldn't be on hybrids OR bio-diesel, but hybrids AND bio-diesel, especially bio-diesel hybrid vehicles.
