If a school bus can burn biodiesel, why add to the complexity and expense with a hybrid system? Our backs are being broken by school taxes already and school districts are under the gun to reduce expenses. If we eliminate the use of petroleum by usi…

My apologies that the conversation has not followed your agenda. School buses should run on Domestic Biodiesel or CNG. How much does it cost to put a battery pack into a bus? Do you have some hard numbers on that? I'd reckon that the cost would be…
