If diesel were to be cleaner, there is no doubt in my mind that it would become more popular. There are a bunch of people who think that it is going to seriously harm the planet, so they ban it.
They claim it is related to heatlth issues, and if there is a high concentration that is possible. However, they are hurting the consumer, the driving force of this economy. They are being forced to buy alternative energy vehicles that are more expensive and new. Since they are so new, it is hard to tell how long they will last or what their resale value will be.
Fortunately, clean diesel does exist, and as you can tell they get better gas milage as well. This is a revolution.
If you read through the entire article, you will discover that the engine they are talking about is not even a hybrid diesel. As one reader points out, "How about Diesel hybrids? Wouldn't they out perform even the diesels..." You see, cars that are appraoching 100 mpg are on the horizon. With that comes a reduction on our need to import foreign oil and gives us a chance to achieve energy independence.
