Diesel is our future. For one thing, it isn't as flammable as gasoline, you get far fewer car fires from old diesels compared to old gas guzzlers.

For another thing, you can make diesel fuel from coal (e.g. coal oil). Well, the U.S. has more coal than the planet has oil...

...China has already opened up two coal oil refineries in Asia.

China sees the handwriting on the wall. Diesel is our future.

Also, if the anti nuke whackos would shut up and we could build nuclear electrical plants again, we could make most organic sewage and garbage into diesel. The process is called thermal depolymerization.
