[AT] Ram 3.0 liter Dieselgate

[David Bruce]

In my experience once a goal is reached there has to be another goal. 
For the most part the limits set now are well beyond a proven effect 
(not always but many). On the dieselgate thing I see an issue that is 
related to circumventing the limits that were set. I suspect as time 
goes by we will see most automobile diesel engines were in the same 
category. I think a valid point to discuss the right or wrong of the 
regs. I do not support evading the regs.

I remember when I first went to work in the textile industry the mantra 
was "the solution to pollution is dilution". I get that to a point but I 
also saw a number of finishing plant workers die of cancers that were 
most likely related to exposure to toxic materials.

Hopefully things have progressed reasonably but I suspect in many areas 
they have not.
