Diesels will make inroads in pickup trucks, luxury cars and SUVs.     Europe Boosted By Galileo And Fusion Project - SpaceDaily  The EU will bankroll 40 percent of the estimated $12-billion price-tag to build the reactor over 30 years. In addition to paying its EU share, France will pick up another 10 percent of the costs for hosting the plant in Cadarache, near the Mediterranean port city of Marseille.  The other five countries involved in the project - Russia, Japan, South Korea, China and the United States - will pay for the rest. Jobs are also one concrete fallout of another European dream. Dubbed Galileo, the EU project aims to build a local equivalent and rival to America's GPS.   Greenpeace noted that while the world must reduce greenhouse gasses by 2050, the nuclear reactor is unlikely to make a dent on the gasses before the second half of the century. That is, if it even succeeds in meeting high European and international expectations.
