Hybrid Trucks by Ryan Birss, Sep 4, 2008 (8:42pm)

This bill will encourages hybrid research for trucks by offering grants to truck manufacturers to build, test, and eventually sell hybrid heavy duty trucks. It will also encourages the Department of Energy to expand its advanced energy storage technology research to include hybrid trucks.

This bill will hopefully jump start a new truck market, help the environment, and reduce American businesses dependency of foreign oil. It seems like new research and information is a win-win for everybody involved.
