Don't you realize how much pollution a marine diesel engine produces? It's totally selfish and irresponsible. Anybody running a marine diesel for recreational purposes is sick in my opinion. No regard whatsoever for clean air and a clean marine environment. When somebody's 'fun' takes precedence over my rights (to a clean environment) then I cannot excuse such hedonism. I wish they'd jack the price of recreational marine diesel up to about fifty bucks a gallon. Maybe people would be forced to buy environmentally friendly sailboats that use small, clean-air, 4-stroke, gasoline outboards when needed but use sails most of the time. When your 'cruising' is a blatant act of pollution and you don't even realize it then you're just clueless and nobody I want to associate with.... Wilbur Hubbard Wait a minute!!....... Isn't this the same person who posted a while back that he used TBT in his antifouling? God is great!!! This man has had a sudden about-face conversion into an environmentalist! How did this inspirational sudden insight take place Wilbur? Was in whilst you were sniffing your petrol tank? I have heard a lot about the evils of petrol sniffing but never diesel sniffing; another reason why is it is more socioenvironmentally friendly. Ever so kindest regards Peter Hendra Nobody ever said TBT contributes to the greenhouse effect and global warming. As long as the Navy uses it on their huge ships I'll feel free to use it on my little sailboat. Nobody has to smell it, nobody has to breathe it, nobody has to be exposed to it unless they decide to chew on the bottom of my boat. Who cares about some baby barnacles and algae spores that have to find a better place to live, anyway? Not me! Wilbur Hubbard |
