gas-electric or diesel-electric that is the question. The diesel is by far the most efficient and flexible engine to use. They already can burn any combustable gas or liquid. All you have to do is change the method of delivery. I saw an article in hot rod magazine that has the future of the gas engine looking much like a diesel anyway.(direct injection of fuel, no throttle plate, possibly even compression ignition of fuel) So why not just use a diesel style engine to start with and designe it to burn gasoline, diesel, alcohol, bio-diesel, kerosene, jet fuel, hydrogen, etc. Yes it can be done and probably already has been done if you look back into history.
