I am astounded that people do not grasp the satire in the Audi ad. It's the kind of ad they would have if Scrappleface were hired to write one. Let the enviro fanatics have their obsessions; we can produce something which meets all their requirements and we can have fun anyway: that is the message.

Unfortunately, I bet the greenies will attack diesels anyway. Mark my words.

Yeah. I hear ya. And the greenies do attack diesels.

The Problem with Diesel

Diesel engines are a major source of particulate and smog-forming pollution. Diesel exhaust is the most potent carcinogen (cancer-causing substance) in air pollution. And because diesel engines are so often operated where people live, play, work or go to school, they pose particular dangers to human health.

Cleaning Up Diesel Pollution

Diesel pollution is making us sick. Studies show that diesel pollution contains more than 40 “air toxics” including carcinogens and fine particulate matter. When inhaled, these air toxics have been known to trigger asthma and heart attacks. There is also evidence that diesel pollution causes cancer and respiratory diseases. That is why Environment Massachusetts has launched the Campaign To Clean Up Dirty Diesel.

Or the Onion. :-)

Undoubtedly, because the target is our freedom, not "pollution".

Just like all the greenies calling for the use of "renewable energy" and then when a solar power plant is proposed, do everything possible to get it shut down before it's built.
