This may sound like a stupid question, but considering the current "oil crisis" that looks like it will probably be here to stay, is there any research into the use of alternative fuels? There is of course electric locomotives now, which run on power that more than likely comes from a fossil-fuel powered plant. I know that a hybrid probably wouldn't be efficient for use since you constantly have to have the generators running and could never let electric power take over. There has also been the talk about hydrogen fuel cells for cars, is there anyway they could be used on a large enough scale for locomotives. For some of you this all may sound a bit silly and I should probably do a bit more of my own research and know more of the technical information, but I was just curious if anything had been mentioned or if there was anything out there, nothing too "deep" but just any information.
