Oh, that's very cool, always love to hear from guys of his caliber... Thank you very much.

That was good. Puts some context around his experience and how industry has advanced.

It's definitely interesting seeing how, often for the right reasons some emissions regulation has progressed but can result in some perverse or unreasonable outcomes. Like making new vehicles so expensive or complex the people continue using far older more emitting stuff to avoid new ones.

We have seen something similar with diesel exhaust emissions rules for underground coal mines here, although well intentioned, proportional gas flow limits on oxides of nitrogen especially result in detuning which means more total heat an gaseous emissions for delivered work in a constrained atmosphere.

Well,knowing that Earth population is largely expanding it was no braner to me personally - I could see it coming all the way. That actually left me with just two questions : how much longer are we still going to be allowed to continue playing with our not pollution friendly toys and how fast will technology change to substitute hydrocarbon fuel with something else...

The sad part, especially in English speaking places was a move away from heavy and light rail and good town planning. Global fleet emissions would be much lower for both personal and goods transport if we had continued to maintain and expand our rail networks and actually plan housing properly, as well as tax heavy road transport to reflect the damage it does to infrastructure.

Most of our long haul freight should be on rail and often isn't.
