Um ...
1) Diesels are more efficient than gassers and emit less CO2 for the same amount of work.
2) Soot contributes to more cloud formation which cools the earth.
So they say.
BTW: just spouting about something I saw on PBS. Don't blame me, cuz I know nothin.

It was 78 this morning here on the Carribean. My WTS light stayed on for a full 5 seconds. It took 2 cranks to start up.
Winter is tough here.

Excuse me....supplies jobs?
How about makes living possible.
Remove diesel = no food or clothing or building materials or roads or construction
Remove coal = no electricity for 90% of the country
No gas as in liquid form = no transportation for most of the country
No gas in gaseous form = no heat for a large percentage of the country
Wood = to make that a viable energy source you need a saw to cut it up and some form of transportation to get it to your house.
Watermellon juice = refer to number 1, no diesels, no watermellons unless you live at the field and hoe up the ground to plant them.
My problem with cap and trade tax and all that other political BS.
Before we make 95% of the current energy we have so expensive you can't afford to use it, I think we need a viable replacement.
Wind, solar, hydro electric and geothermal may be able to replace 20 or 30 percent at best, so that still leaves 60% of our needs unaccounted for.
As usual the horse and cart are in the wrong order again.

But like the days of the spotted owl there weren't any of the idiots buying mud houses just canadian lumber. It is the same nowadays everybody has to have everything but it needs to come from a differant neighborhood.
