The government is not subsidizing diesels because it's yet another combustion engine. Other than the quoted "industry representatives" want you to believe, diesels produce plenty of carcinogenic, extremely difficult to filter particles. If anything, the government should be taxing these cars 10+ grand for the extra costs they will incur in the health system down the road.
