I’m going with Volkswagen’s Diesel technology. I will NOT support fracking (Civic Natural Gas) and VW’s diesel is much less complex than a hybrid and safer overall than an electric (due to lack of batteries). The VW Diesel also requires no additional infrastructure as many gas stations already carry diesel fuel. Granted, it may not be as clean as the others, but overall I think it’s a significant step forward and a proven technology.
