(IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) I'm sure the energy cost is more expensive now. Prototypes always are. You don't get true effeciency until it can be produced in large quantites. Its total energy cost is *way* lower then the current crop of gas-electric hybrids or EVs. No batteries to make or have to dispose of. If they can make the tanks crash safe, I think it is a wonderful idea. Zach |
