Well... Maybe.
How about a little power source comparison study...

(I don't like the Diesel engine as presented. I divided
the weight and fuel consumption of the listed values by
2. This reconciles it with the diesels in COACC, and my
view of diesels in general.)

(Note this breaks the minimum powerplant size for
Hydrogen Combustion engines, but it is 4 tech levels
above that of it's introduction, so I figure it's ok.)

Bonus points to those who can figure out the naming system on this one!
