China's Shift To EV Transportation Is Making Air Pollution Even Worse

Are they generating electricity primarily from coal? Maybe start there, rather than spinning this as "Bad EVs".

No you were driving through China with your "Clean Diesel/Truth in Engineering" Q5 and this is what happened with your Bosch cheat device dirty diesel engine.

Perhaps if you were to write more essays preaching thy way to moral superiority for us lesser underlings you wouldn't foul mother earth so much...

So, qwertyfla1, allow me to showcase how you, like “fiftysix”, are profoundly ignorant on this matter, and yet very loud about it.

While you were busy swallowing news sound bites as unquestionable “sacred truth”, the reality is quite different! My specific car is a Gen-2 3.0L Diesel, which came stock with a DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) system and a DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter). It wasn’t one of those smoke belching, polluting diesels you’re thinking of.

My specific vehicle’s sin was that it had undocumented actions taking place during the engine’s warm-up cycle. That’s makes it illegal, and violating emission laws, because CARB and the EPA demand that *ALL* operational differences be documented. But you, being ignorant of these details, don’t know about such things. Do you?

May folks, such as yourself, are completely ignorant about emissions, too. Emissions are closely tied to fuel economy, so it’s idiotic (re-read that) to believe every diesel are worse than every gasoline car (as you believe). I have a true 36.8 MPG (US) average in 3 years of mixed driving (I keep meticulous records). On the highway, I get a true 46.1 MPG (US). How does that compare to you? I’d bet you don’t have exact figures to back up your wild-assed guesses, because… y’know… Evil Diesel, Clean Gasoline… and you have your opinion, so why bother with facts. Right?

Factor in my genuine fuel economy, and it’s very likely my diesel Q5 has produced fewer NOx since Day-1 than your gasser, and MUCH fewer CO2 emissions (‘cuz diesel is good at that… but you don’t know that).

These are the facts :-/

But you’re a well-known Daffy. Daffie’s are fact-averse. You don’t care about facts. You just continue to believe what you believe… ‘cuz, ya know what ya know, so why bother with facts that say otherwise?

Like “fiftysix,” you are profoundly ignorant on this matter, and yet, you are exceptionally vocal in repeatedly expressing your ignorance. And that is your right, I grant you that.

It is your style, qwertyfla1: You just make up shit as you go along, and you try to pass it off as truth. This is a big reason why I can’t take you, or other Daffies, seriously. They’re just not well informed, but they sure do tell you what they think! :-/


(This is where you react with denial, deflection, and derision… the all-to-predictable Daffy Way.)

My response was hammered out when I was well hammered and took me all of 20 seconds. You on the other hand belt out your typical essay that likely took you 2 days to ponder as you wandered aimlessly in your safe space all triggered and shit. Breathe deeply as you sip your chamomile tea and slip into you Hillary pant suit pajamas. Your Bernie Sanders blow up doll is there to sooth and comfort you in this moment of need.

Before accusing me of not knowing shit about emissions -I was an investor in a company that developed a new turbo charger that took a 1986 Chevy 3/4 tonne 4X4 that we were able to get 35MPG and zero emissions as verified by 7 different states were we had the beast e-tested. This was also a huge commercial failure and we wound up shelving the tech as we couldn't get any of the OEMs to license the tech so save your sermons and venomous attaches.

PS -Nobody likes you.
