		<description><![CDATA[The findings of two NCI studies only recently have been fully made public and are now undergoing a detailed peer and scientific review of the methodology and the conclusions, which have been the subject of great question and controversy over the last decade. 

The researchers based assumptions regarding exposure on previous studies with apparent errors in the accuracy and appropriateness of some of the test measures.   There are serious concerns about fundamental aspects of study design and the conclusions of the study.

The NCI studies fail to note the tremendous changes that have taken place in diesel engines and equipment over time.  Diesel engines and equipment that were the basis of these studies are in some cases over 50 years old.  Like any other technology, diesel engines have changed dramatically over the course of the last half-century based on advancements in engineering and emissions control technology and new fuels. 

Over the last 10 years, emissions from heavy-duty diesel trucks and buses have been reduced by 99 percent for nitrogen oxides (NOx) - an ozone precursor - and 98 percent for particulate emissions.

In addition, the new ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel that has been required since 2010 has reduced sulfur emissions by 97 percent – from 500 PM to 15 PM.

None of these advancements are considered in the two studies.  Instead, the studies focus on older engines that haven’t been manufactured for decades.

		<description><![CDATA[Great piece

RFK Jr talks about externalities. 
Fossil fuel companies internalize profits but externalize Hidden costs like air pollution depletion of water (fracking) mountain top removal (coal) harmful fumes (oil refineries)

As a physician I am 100% convinced we need 100% renewables 

Also I would gently point out the Chest X-ray is wrong someone swapped sides on you the heart sits on the left side of the chest unless of course this person has dextrocardia but e odds of that are like 1 in a million or so ;)

Peace
