Re: BioDiesle vs. Prius....
Seems to me that a Plugin-Diesel-Hybrid would not only be doable but practical too... even here in the northeast... once some of the challenges are carefully examined.
The vehicle would run as a plugin hybrid until the heat from braking warms the diesel engine up to reasonable temperatures... Batteries would cycle a little deeper, but the overall benefit might make up for the extra hassles of cold oil in a cold climate.
Just my $0.02...
