A poorly maintained diesel still runs cleaner than a poorly maintained
gas engine.  The difference is purely cosmetic.  Diesels show their
poor maintenance better than gas engines.

storage and use of hydrogen has improved over the decades?  Why are
you so ready to dismiss over 50 years of progress so easily?
