"Since many older diesel engines can run for 30 years, more action is needed by federal, state, and local governments to retrofit existing diesel engines to run more cleanly, the group said. "



I wonder if they consider the environmental savings that having ONE engine last 30 years vs 6 gasoline engines used up in the same 30 yr time span??? Or the 1/3 LESS fuel burned by the ONE diesel engine??? They cant see the big picture.



Probably the same mentality that promoted this "bull":

What about jet engines? Ships? Let's retrofit everything. You are right on the gassers.

This is hard to believe, but in California prior to Arnold, the state had a program for commercial vessel owners that at no cost to them, would replace their 2 cycle diesels with 4 cycle diesels. For a twin engine boat that could mean getting 100,000 bucks worth of new diesels in your boat.



Unreal. This was not a sea story.
