MIT: HYBRID DIESEL WILL OUTPERFORM FUEL CELLS From TheCarConnection.com... MIT: HYBRID DIESEL WILL OUTPERFORM FUEL CELLS Meanwhile, a study performed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology finds that fuel-cell cars, while promising in principle, will be out-greened by hybrid vehicles, particularly diesel hybrids, until at least the year 2020. The problem, the MIT study says, is how hydrogen fuel for fuel cells is harvested; until 2020, most hydrogen will be extracted from natural gas, consuming vast amounts of energy that will reduce their overall environmental benefit. In the distant future, scientists expect hydrogen to be "cracked" from water molecules through other power sources. President Bush has pledged $1.2 billion for the development of fuel cells, and many car companies are promising mass-production fuel-cell vehicles by the end of the decade.
