> What's wrong exactly with an ICE that uses clean and sustainable fuel?
Ok well, you have:
1) NO2 emissions - which basically reduce human lifespan
2) CO emissions- don't really need to explain this one, you've seen the films with the suicides in the closed garage
3) Tailpipe particulates- basically very tiny bits of charcoal that are carcinogenic
So no, claiming that the fuel was made from sugarcane, or corn, or algae, does not somehow make an ICE clean.
Reminder that air pollution is responsible for 7 million premature deaths every year. [0]

- yakshaving_jgt 5y agoWhich technological advances would need to be achieved for you to say that ICEs are morally acceptable?
- DoingIsLearning 5y agoAn ICE with non-volatile emissions i.e. make an ICE that filters, condenses, and 'poops' solid emissions into a containerized deposit. Then by all means go to town with the Auto industry.
