Cleaner Diesel Thanks to Laser Light

Interesting, but short, article on cleaner diesel emissions from PhysOrg.com: latest science and technology news

CLEANER DIESELS THANKS TO LASER LIGHT, December 07
Dutch researcher Bas Bougie has developed a laser system to investigate soot development in diesel engines. Small soot particles are not retained by a soot filter but are, however, more harmful than larger soot particles. Therefore, soot development needs to be tackled at the source. Laser Induced Incandescence is a technique that reveals exactly where soot is generated and can be used by project partners to develop cleaner diesel engines.

Now if we could just get some friggen genius to figure out how to make cheaper diesel fuel.....

Doesn't take a genious. If we had another refinery for diesel, it'd be cheaper. I think the U. S. has to import refined diesel because we don't had enough refining capacity. I may be wrong. I'd help gas if we had one blend too, not 50+ or whatever it is now.
