Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Is Here
Contrary to any pie in the sky "renewables" initiatives, this development is the most promising news on the cleaner energy front. ULSD is available now and it has the potential to impact a large chunk of our energy usage, not some measly .0001% of our energy consumption. Furthermore, next year when more diesel passenger vehicles, like these and this, start hitting the showrooms, the potential impact will only increase.
The auto, auto parts (engines), and oil refining industries put about $8 billion behind this effort. Technology and investment in cleaner fuels, not mandated reduction of fuel usage, is the best hope for balancing concern for the environment while not inhibiting economic growth and global standards of living.
