Actually I agree with you Ralf. The problem is that back in the 1980s and 1990s, here in the UK diesel was pushed as the 'cleaner' fuel and hence was cheaper in price than petrol. the government promoted diesel heavily and the car manufacturers followed suit by making more of them. Now we are seeing the true legacy. It all boils down from the oil lobby and the car makers, simple as that. Without the need to pander to oil-rich nations, we would all have been driving battery, even hydrogen powered cars years ago. Instead we line the pockets of certain nations who shall remain nameless but have lots of sand and camels. I need a big utility vehicle for work, but if I had a choice of a less polluting method of propulsion, I would jump at it. -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ Broadcast, Corporate, || (O) | Web Video Production ---------- <www.seeingeye.tv> _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
