Sulfur? Tractors? Just means we have to add all kinds of additives to make our equipment work on fuel thats lost most of its lubricity~!! The new fuels can ruin an older diesel tractor engine real quick.

You fellows are focused on the wrong thing. The damned farmers and their diesels will bring an end to this planet as we know it. Everytime you heartless right-wing land-rapers fire up the old Massey Ferguson, that black puff obscures more sunlight. Less gets to the earth's surface, causing climactic change that will, within months, see England turned into an Arctic wasteland.(Although this may be good for skin cancer rates and may reduce global warming.)
Of course, women and minority groups will suffer first, most, and worse than anyone else, except maybe the children. I do not even want to go into the countless rare kangaroo rats your massive equipment has killed. My family and I are willing to go with less and less food, if it means preserving our precious environment.
As long as we have enough organic produce to last us until we can elect John Kerry. He knows all about this. And he cares.

That's just planned obsolescence and a big boost to the diesel engine manufacturers. Got to help a faltering economy, you know.

"

The miniscule amount of sulfur in diesel fuel provides the primary lubricant for all those dellicate pump and injector surfaces.
Of course, the enviro-nazis couldn't be less interested in that.
The end result will be the cost of diesel (along with other fuels) will be over $10/gallon (when you can get it at all) and business as we know it will be severely cramped.
Again, the enviro-nazis couldn't be less interested in that. It just ties in with their long-range program in the first place.
