There’s never been anything like this in a production car. Essentially, it’s a form of hybrid vehicle power plant which will allow major efficiency improvements in use of organic fuels. Organic fuels are still innately more energy dense than batteries, dues to the difference between covalent and ionic bond energies,…

Don’t you mean Great Job Jason? Kristen essentially took notes from Jason’s video...that is not really journalism, that is note taking.

Diesel is still more efficient than gas, so for the same energy output, less CO2. That’s good. OTOH, Diesel has higher NOx, which is bad for people to breath, and contributes to a lot of the pollution in dense urban areas.
