> Turbine is great for steady loads and terrible for cyclical loads which is what a garbage truck does all day. Right. This would certainly apply to the mechanically coupled turbine truck prototypes from the 70's. But if its driving a generator then you can let batteries or capacitors handle the cyclic loads of acceleration and have a computer throttle the turbine according to the overall demand.
