Dont know if this has been discussed here yet, but I thought its worth knowing about. I'd hate to see the rest of the world entertain this illogical logic.....

I am gonna love to see how they move goods from one place to another.....

When I look at the crankcase breather on my 1960 Chrysler, it makes me smile.  It is a steel tube that vents directly under the car, like our 2nd Gen Cummins trucks. 

 

I don't smile at the pollution, which the Chrysler does make, but that there was once a time where sanity reigned and we took sane steps towards the environment.  I don't like pollution any more than anyone else, but the folks advocating for the banning of diesel are for an eventual persuit of human extinction on the satanic altar of "the environment."

Good luck I say... I love to see how they plan on trucking the trees out of the forest for lumber mills. Then truck the finished lumber to the stores. How about trucking all those China goods from the dock to WalMart? Love to see hybrid car deliver goods.  

It will never happen ,

Maybe they'll come up with some engine that runs off the hopes and dreams of liberal ideology.  We have enough of that crap to last the next thousand years.....

Is that considered renewable energy?lol

A never ending supply.

I almost got creamed by one of those cars you cannot hear coming right at you.  they might of saw me get out of my global warming cummins and walk to the store cause the idiot never even slowed down. Then at Thanksgiving a guest we had over for celebration got on my case for using a woodstove to heat my house. She was scolding me in my own home. Glad I had two diesel pick ups parked in the driveway.

 

Anyhow, I think these folks are nuts, besides, isn't it more efficient to go diesel since you get so much more from a barrel of oil?

I don't think that will pass DOT inspection. I think the axle is overloaded. 

I say let places like Mexico city and such pay the price and make them switch to alternative sources since they are among the worst polluters in the world, and leave us emission compliant and clean burning diesel owners alone and to fend for ourselves,

 

one volcanic eruption probably emits more pollution than all of mankind....  and we have how many of these a year?

Not sure why they don't just force them to upgrade to clean diesels rather than ban them all together. From sitting through several diesel emission seminars the new diesels actually clean the air in highly polluted areas. The air exiting the exhaust is cleaner than what they are taking in and one seminar had it backed up by some study from California.

Start with China being the worse... USA is nothing compared to China...

 

Better yet just pan through the image gallery on Google...

No FREAKING way that would have happened in my house.....  And yes, environmentalists are nuts.  Thats why you see vegans wearing Birkenstocks and tree huggers taking notes with paper pads and wooden pencils.  They just dont see the hypocrisy in their positions.

Besides, why would she think that a wood stove is bad?  Would she rather you use your HVAC heater which runs off electricity generated by coal and propane or natural gas.  I'm sure she was probably caught occasionally huddled up next to the woodstove keeping warm too.  Should have told her to stay outside in the cold.  Heck, even solar and battery systems use lead and plastics which was mined from the ground using pollutants.  There's nothing environmentally friendly about a battery.....

 

And yes, diesel is the most efficient petroleum based fuel.  Thats why it became so popular when Rudolf Diesel invented the revolutionary engine back in the late 1800's.

This is absolute FACT.....  Volcanoes emit tens of thousands of metric tons of CO2 into the atmosphere, and many of them pop their cork every year.  FAR FAR more pollutants than mankind could ever dream of emitting.  Even when considering a 747 burns 1 gallon of fuel every second its in the air!!!!!  Thats why the argument behind humans killing earth is so stupid.  There's no proof nor facts that we have anything to do with earths cycles.....

Dont succumb to the propagated arguments of liberal environmentalists because everything they base their case on is lies and deception only to make what they want seem like the only path.  Diesel engines are not a dirty fuel but have been thrown into the ring of fire by globalists who want to financially control and manipulate the things that drive humanity through life.  Diesels have been around since people have used combustion engines to move about.  The overall number of them used has not increased nearly as much as we're told but yet all of a sudden diesel is the reason for sooooo many problems in society.  Why now?.....should be the question?  Could it have something to do with the reduction in gasoline engines used and they want their tax revenue faucet to continue flowing.....

Again, as you point out.....  Countries around the globe are huge polluters but here we Americans are called rich and uncaring because we're somehow polluting the earth more, and therefor we must conform to massive EPA emission restrictions which are financially breaking the automotive market place and forcing companies like Caterpillar to stop making on-road engines because of the financial investment it takes to conform.  The Kyoto Protocol is no different that the TPP and is only built on the pretense that Globalists believe Americans are at fault for everything.

I'm not mad about this. Not one bit.  

 

@KATOOM I agree with you 100%. Start doing some research on bankers such as the Rothschilds, Soros, and it all starts to make sense. One family has banks in every country except 3. A family worth of 500 Trillion dollars. Makes it hard to imagine just how much power they have and how much manipulation they do. 

I can always count on you guys to pull me out of the funk.....

Guys from California are supposed to stop off here in August and then convoy off the next day to the meet and greet Eclipse camp out. Me got country beer store 4 miles away.

Come to think about it I didn't create my username for no reason
