Of course it's the same Things can have both positive and negative properties. Diesel is no exception and has certainly saved more people than it killed.

- JoeAltmaier 7y agoIts facetious to compare forces of nature that we have to live with, to a simple choice of fuels that we don't. Diesel is ... cheap that's about it. Everything else about it, is a negative.
- ThomPete 7y agoIf you actually read what I wrote you would know that's not what I did. I already gave you just some of the positive effects of using Diesel luckily everyone can read for themselves.
- JoeAltmaier 7y agoLikewise, reading what I wrote would reveal, I don't regard Diesel as inevitable as the sun and the wind. That was a disingenuous comparison. That's all on this subject.
- ThomPete 7y agoNice strawman. I didn't claim it was. So yeah you kind of exposed everything about your intentions here. Thanks for that.
- JoeAltmaier 7y ago"Blaming diesel for a public health crisis is like blaming the sun for melanomas or the wind for wrecked ships." Putting diesel in the category of 'sun' or 'wind' is pretty clear I think.
- ThomPete 7y agoThen you should think it through some more. The point is that it's absurd to only look at the negatives. Just like you wouldn't only be judging wind or the sun on negatives you can't only look at the negatives only of diesel you have to look at the positives and THEN decide whether it's worth it.
- JoeAltmaier 7y agoPerhaps others could attempt to be more clear, if they didn't mean what they actually wrote.
