And with nobody competent in charge, complicated things just don&#x27;t happen.<p>Idea: instead of screwing around with the complexities of getting millions of small trucks using Bxx diesel fuel, plus delivering it at thousands of retail filling stations, target a few high-volume users. Stuff like Navy ships and railroad locomotives. That&#x27;d <i>really</i> cut down (1) how many engines &amp; fuel systems you&#x27;d have to make compatible with Bxx fuel, (2) the logistics of delivering the stuff, and (3) the number of decision makers who&#x27;d need to buy in.
