Too big to fine?

I bet a plea bargain is in the works.

They should be sentenced to producing only electric cars for the next 20 years.

By the way, when will we see the first all-electric semi-truck?

The news source for this tidbit is not called “Yahoo” for nothing.

You want REALLY clean-burning Diesel engines? Fuel them with Compressed Natural Gas.

In fact, CNG should be much more widely available than it now is, for both spark-ignition and compression-ignition vehicle engines.

That aside, urea-injection exhaust systems do a very good job of cleaning up NOx emission, they are widely used on light-duty pickup trucks and on Mercedes Diesels sold in this country.

I still believe that a lot may be done using either a fully recirculating steam power unit with a condensation unit, based on the Abner Doble designs of the 1920’s.

Soon as they can work out the extra long extension cords, and keep them from tangling.

They should be sentenced to blowing up every electric car ever produced, and using the dust to erect a monument to enviro-NAZIism.
