"Clean" Diesel burns more cleanly than gasoline in that it has less pollutants, but it also contributes 13% more CO2 to the environment. The "Clean" in clean diesel is a marketing keyword at best. "Clean" Diesel still increases air pollution, creates more oil dependance, and increases the carbon footprint. And just like gasoline engines, the exhaust is still dangerous. Breathing in even relatively small amounts of diesel exhaust can cause serious illness--especially in children, the elderly or the chronically ill. Even very short term exposure can cause existing allergies to worsen or cause symptoms of asthma or bronchitis.
Now that being said, "Clean Diesel" is still a significant step forward and is much better than old Diesel for sure. But it still sucks.

And again, again, again, Dynamo, stop talking for me. You really don't know anything at all when it comes to me and when you try to talk for me, you lie, distort facts, or just make stuff up, who knows. Are you trying to lie to me? Or to yourself? Or to GFY readers? Or all of the above? Intradesting...
Anyway, Of course I did my research. Electric cars, in Canada, has the smallest environmental impact, is the cheapest to "fuel", and in my head anyway, lots of fun to drive too.
The car did not cost $50,000. The Chevy Volt retails for $38,500 CAD - $8500 instant government credit, - $2200 GM customer loyalty credit. Total : $28,800. This also does not include a 3 year 40 cent per litre discount on fuel that I gave to Tracy, the $1000 tax credit for the purchase of a $600 220v charger, etc. All of this I've said before, all of this you know, and all of which you seem to want to ignore.
