Then there's the matter of transference, where we're just moving the issue somewhere else when using grid based power for electrics and pollution created by manufacturing new cars en mass when all petrol and diesels are defunct. Another topic for another time, still it does make me wonder.!
Hydrogen anyone?

What is actually friendly though? A doctor customer who worked in the field of air quality in submarines and spacecraft recently told me that the move to higher combustion temperatures and DPF/OPF is simply reducing the particulate size to pass an EU filter paper test. The smaller particles simply pass through the paper so pass the test as "clean", but due to the smaller scale (barely above molecule size) can now enter your bloodstream directly through your body instead of having to be inhaled, where at least you had a chance of coughing them out. Look for this to come home to roost in 5-10 years.
