DaimlerChrysler says it will become the first manufacturer to unveil a diesel concept car that will meet more stringent pollution rules and get higher mileage than diesels now on the road.
...
Some environmentalists reacted with skepticism to the Daimler car, noting that manufacturers often introduce flashy concept cars that never make it to the production line. They also said the country would be better served by companies making more gasoline hybrid vehicles because they pollute less than cleaner-burning diesels.
"The auto industry is trying to convince the car-buying public . . . to reject better technology like hybrid cars," said Dan Becker, Washington director of the Sierra Club's Global Warming Program.

I am OD green with envy.
Actually urea is a byproduct of meatpacking (also known as "tankwater")...the "liquids" left by livestock
"The Green fear industry is trying to convince the eneergy-buying public . . . to reject better technology like nuclear power," said Petronski, online director of the "Sierra Club Global Warming Program" Debunking Squad.
So did Rudolph Diesel, considering the engine originally ran on peanut oil.
But we will never see them because the plans have been bought by the five richest oil men in the world, known as the "Pentaverate". They meet fort nightly to discuss which secret plans to buy up next!
Working in the engineering field, I work with quite a few flaming libs. They swear up and down that the oil companies bought up all the patents on 300mpg carbs.
Not only that, they have 400mpg diesel cars that run on hemp fuel which can be produced at 5 cents a gallon.
And you can pipe the exhaust into the cab and get stoned. It's a hippies dream come true.
It ain't about how much gas ya saved,
it's about how much of a gas the trip was.
JEEP WAVE!
Here's my libel protection. Let 'em read my profile page and my posts. Don't care.
"Not only that, they have 400mpg diesel cars that run on hemp fuel which can be produced at 5 cents a gallon."
I invented a 500 MPG carburator and was invited to secret talks at a local topless bar by one of the largest auto makers. I was assaulted as I was getting out of my car, the plans were stolen and I barely escaped with my life. I tried to phone my wife but she was out of town so I called the FBI only to be told they were shorthanded because of the war on terrorism and couldn't get to me till next week.
I'm now in hiding and fear for my life.
Watch out for the Bears!
"If you needed a sarcasm tag I can't help you."
LOL! It amazes me how many people don't seem to get sarcasm.
" LOL!! You can't be obvious enough with your sarcasm for some of the folks here."
Funny, I read it and wondered if it was true!
Shame on me!
Ha, you think thats pretty neat. We got liberals in Seattle vowing to develop a car that will run for 14 years on a stick of celery.
That 2 door prototype hatchback makes my Prius look positively huge.
So, it's smaller, but only slightly.
