Comment | Hybrid's stop the engine when not in use. This is a technology that could be added to all new engine's in the future. This would be VERY helpful during commuting in stop and go traffic. Cars, trucks and buses as well as stationary, agriculture, off road engines all pollute when running. Idle is the worst pollution since no work is done. Turbo engines produce more power with less fuel, less fuel means less CO2 production. Diesel turbo engines are the most fuel efficient, therefore they naturally produce less CO2 then gasoline engines. Less use of fuel is the goal, or it should be. Micro diesel hybrides could reduce our fuel use by more than 40%. We should be encouraging, not discouraging clean diesel. And keep the engines OFF when they are not doing useful work, no matter where or what that engine is working at. |
