Is the diesel going to end up going the way of the dinosaur?

I think "inept fools in government" is a redundancy. :)

And again, he can't make the EPA worse than the last guy with its polluting rivers and corruption. Although there is no need to hold my breath, it has already begun.

So when that damned up mining water broke free that was the EPA's fault, and not the fact that the mining company caused all that pollution to begin with, took their profits, and then split leaving the taxpayers to pay for the cleanup. Geez where have I heard that story before?

The threat was contained and under control until our inept Government released it. Their actions were criminal and the persons that did this should be personally prosecuted for monetary damages and not be protected as government employees. We have way too many inept fools in Government.

"inept fools in Government" now is top down.

Yes eventually Diesel will be replaced, when is anybody's guess. In our lifetime I would be willing to bet against it happening.

A tread about "Is the diesel going to end up going the way of the dinosaur?" and a hijack to a anti gov bash thread.

Anywayz....JMO but the diesel is here to stay. Gazz engine makers has had decades to develop new gen clean burn engine technology. Diesel has just begun.

7. It runs on diesel. The Beast is believed to use a Duramax diesel engine closely related to that featured under the hood of Chevrolet and GMC's full-size heavy duty pickup trucks. Why diesel? Aside from the durability associated with diesel engines, the fuel has a low volatility that reduces the risk of it exploding - and it can be found everywhere in the world, unlike high quality unleaded fuel.

Interesting, didn't know that.

Also interesting, the coefficients used by the EPA for climate modeling have not been proven, here is hoping Trump staffs the EPA with scientist and engineers again. We do need to be good custodians of our environment.

I would not hold your breath on current administration to staff EPA better than it was... Major cuts. Hey who needs clean water and air anyways!!

You are WRONG.

Just because there are cuts in government size does not necessarily mean it would make it worse. If you have ever worked for any government agency, you would notice there is a lot of redundancy and convoluted bureaucratic processes that get in the way. If you asked why, then all you will get is "well that is just the way it's always been done". There is also a lot of the "good ole' boy" system where you are guaranteed a job even though you are a screw up and would have been fired at any other private company. The EPA is no different. Making the right cuts in the EPA may not be a bad thing.

Although, it is not like the EPA has been doing such a great job under the current administration....

Food for thought. How many decades did it take to get the emissions on gas powered vehicles mostly reliable? And some of them still have problems.

My wife's uncle worked as a technician for a guy who took out a patent for a catalytic converter. This was back in the late '50's early 60's.

The company's main work was coming up with a way for hospitals in Phila. to incinerate body parts and also unclaimed bodies of indigents. The smell of burning human remains was apparently stinking up the neighborhoods.

His boss eventually sold it to GM.
