“Crazy Awesome” comes to mind. I knew the truck readers (ok this isn’t really a street legal truck but the link was sent by a Dodge guy) wouldn’t want to be left out of the video representation. Just listen to this thing idle……and then listen to it spool up! I wonder if I could just use one of those turbos on my Jetta. I think I’ll need some bigger nozzles……..cylinders too.
The National Biodiesel Board (NBB) praised bipartisan legislation introduced today
by Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-TX) to prevent large integrated oil companies from
exploiting a federal tax incentive designed to stimulate biodiesel and renewable
diesel production.
The bill, entitled the Responsible Renewable Energy Tax Credit Act of 2007, would
prevent oil companies from claiming a one dollar-per-gallon tax credit when using
small amounts of biomass as an ingredient in making diesel fuel. Under the Doggett
legislation, producers making renewable diesel solely from renewable sources would
continue to be eligible for the credit.

Well one of the readers pointed me to this video. It’s a couple of crazy diesel Bimmer drivers testing their drifting prowess in the rain. Makes me wish my Jetta wasn’t wrong-wheel-drive, but I still wouldn’t be doing that in the rain. They gots some skillz.

Clean Power Technologies, a developer of a unique and environmentally friendly alternative hybrid power technology, has received the delivery of the steam accumulator, a key component in the company’s hybrid power/engine development.
The Steam Accumulator is the result collaboration with the international engineering company Doosan Babcock Energy Limited who have been devloping in steam generating technologies for over a hundred years.
“Our Steam Accumulator is revolutionary; this is the first of a new generation of energy efficient storage systems that will faithfully recover the otherwise wasted energy from a conventional internal combustion engine. The combination of Clean Power’s exceptional intellectual property and the technical expertise of Doosan Babcock has provided for the unprecedented speed in which our steam accumulator was developed and is now a reality. Clean Power will be able to continue its rapid deployment and commercialization of this unique technology,” said Abdul Mitha, President and CEO of Clean Power.

Representatives of a research and investment partnership who hope to extract synthetic diesel fuel from Utah coal met Wednesday with state lawmakers to ask that they refrain from enacting bills that would limit diesel use here.
“Is that all you want?” asked Sen. Carlene Walker, R-Cottonwood Heights, sounding surprised.
Not quite, said Jim Gutherie, president of Viresco Energy. He and two environmental engineering professors from the University of California, Riverside (UCR), hope for at least verbal support for a $25 million pilot project.
