Energy Dept. to Fund Alternative Vehicles
In what appears to be a show of consideration to go "green," the US Department of Energy will be providing $19 million in funds to support the development of diesel hybrid plug-ins. The money is going to five research projects with a goal of improving plug-in hybrids and fuel cell technology.
The Energy department has a long way to go in order to reduce our dependence on energy from foreign body's. At least these baby steps will get our country going in the right direction.

that's great news!!! I hope that one day we will all be green. Thanks for visiting Jolly Green Girl. I blogrolled your blog you and hope you will do the same. Take care
My friend, you know as well as I do that's a pitiful amount of money! I'm not sure I'd even call this a baby step. This obviously isn't the forum to discuss gov spending, but seriously...19 Bil would probably produce a 1000 mile battery with a 1 minute recharge! Or integrate some slick solar PV printed strips to recharge the battery. The money is there, but unfortunately the science is following.
