A used vegetable oil fuel cell, mayhap?  I agree hydrogen is the best bet as
an alternate fuel.  I think the ineffiecient burn of an old style diesel
fueled by vegetable oil would cause as many problems as it solved.

I doubt you'll find many takers for expanding the use of nuclear power in
the US.  The issue is too politically loaded.  I haven't kept up with the
technology, so am I to assume the reactors you are referring to are light
water reactors with improved efficiency or are they radical design?
