we'll Shitsville follow in the footsteps
00:00:02.629 00:00:02.639 of the Eurostar nice and banned diesels
00:00:05.990 00:00:06.000 in our so-called cities that's next
00:00:15.490 00:00:15.500 I'm John Cadogan from auto expert
00:00:18.320 00:00:18.330 comdata you the place where Ozzie new
00:00:20.390 00:00:20.400 car buyers save thousands off their
00:00:22.670 00:00:22.680 necks new cars hit me up on the website
00:00:24.769 00:00:24.779 for that and subscribe now because I
00:00:28.630 00:00:28.640 yearn to inflict myself upon you again
00:00:32.319 00:00:32.329 now I get this question all the time
00:00:35.990 00:00:36.000 perversely enough latest recurring
00:00:38.930 00:00:38.940 variation on the theme from this dude as
00:00:41.840 00:00:41.850 you are no doubt aware Europe is going
00:00:44.810 00:00:44.820 to ban diesel cars there are already
00:00:48.069 00:00:48.079 target dates I have a 2016 Tucson
00:00:51.470 00:00:51.480 Highlander diesel do you think I should
00:00:53.900 00:00:53.910 trade in shortly so that I will not lose
00:00:56.750 00:00:56.760 greatly should Australia decide to
00:00:59.959 00:00:59.969 follow suit when I bought the Tucson
00:01:02.660 00:01:02.670 diesel my understanding was that diesel
00:01:04.820 00:01:04.830 car engines were no longer significantly
00:01:07.940 00:01:07.950 more dangerous environmentally than
00:01:10.580 00:01:10.590 petrol
00:01:11.450 00:01:11.460 I think the VW revelations changed
00:01:14.899 00:01:14.909 things I also get us kind of regularly
00:01:18.020 00:01:18.030 if it's safe to buy a diesel today for
00:01:21.530 00:01:21.540 pretty much the same reason especially
00:01:24.050 00:01:24.060 as many SUVs in particular our package
00:01:26.690 00:01:26.700 today with the diesel powertrain as the
00:01:29.810 00:01:29.820 premium option with better performance
00:01:32.270 00:01:32.280 in the real world and often connected to
00:01:35.420 00:01:35.430 a superior drive line so this is a real
00:01:39.200 00:01:39.210 concern at some level in the market and
00:01:41.990 00:01:42.000 I'd suggest that it is a breathtaking
00:01:44.230 00:01:44.240 non-issue banning diesel would be
00:01:47.300 00:01:47.310 practically impossible here in Australia
00:01:50.179 00:01:50.189 politically impossible and logistically
00:01:52.039 00:01:52.049 very difficult at least also there's no
00:01:55.249 00:01:55.259 suggestion that this idea is being
00:01:57.499 00:01:57.509 tabled or even covertly discussed in the
00:02:01.310 00:02:01.320 corridors of power in the political
00:02:03.709 00:02:03.719 domain Shitsville is revolving door
00:02:06.380 00:02:06.390 policy on prime minces holds one thing
00:02:10.510 00:02:10.520 absolutely sacred to
00:02:13.020 00:02:13.030 run the country you need to be a science
00:02:15.150 00:02:15.160 denying happy clapping really just
00:02:18.059 00:02:18.069 Muppet hell-bent on appeasing Dickensian
00:02:21.240 00:02:21.250 turds such as the coal industry you
00:02:24.180 00:02:24.190 simply cannot have the top job and
00:02:26.309 00:02:26.319 acknowledge the existence of
00:02:28.500 00:02:28.510 anthropogenic climate change
00:02:30.870 00:02:30.880 gotta keep making electricity from coal
00:02:32.910 00:02:32.920 mate got to keep exporting sufficient
00:02:36.240 00:02:36.250 coal to double the carbon footprint of
00:02:39.449 00:02:39.459 the nation effectively screw the planet
00:02:42.809 00:02:42.819 buddy we've got the balance of trade to
00:02:45.240 00:02:45.250 worry about gotta keep sidestepping the
00:02:47.790 00:02:47.800 imperative to have air quality standards
00:02:50.699 00:02:50.709 for our big cities you just wouldn't
00:02:53.729 00:02:53.739 understand out there in the electorate
00:02:55.290 00:02:55.300 there is therefore zero chance of
00:02:58.500 00:02:58.510 banning diesel in Australia especially
00:03:00.270 00:03:00.280 as the most polluting Diesel's on our
00:03:03.570 00:03:03.580 roads are older trucks and no sane Jesus
00:03:08.759 00:03:08.769 bothering nutbag p.m. would take on the
00:03:11.640 00:03:11.650 road transport Lobby and hope to survive
00:03:14.070 00:03:14.080 the other problem with banning Diesel's
00:03:16.290 00:03:16.300 is purely logistic it would be a
00:03:18.800 00:03:18.810 procedural nightmare and of course the
00:03:21.390 00:03:21.400 car industry would go to war with you
00:03:23.550 00:03:23.560 instantly if you tabled this as a
00:03:25.880 00:03:25.890 serious proposal according to the 2018
00:03:30.090 00:03:30.100 Shitsville motor vehicle census the
00:03:32.400 00:03:32.410 number of diesel passenger vehicles on
00:03:34.470 00:03:34.480 our roads has grown by 70% since 2013
00:03:38.160 00:03:38.170 it's a pretty serious bump there are
00:03:40.890 00:03:40.900 almost 1.8 million diesel passenger
00:03:43.949 00:03:43.959 vehicles and 2 million more diesel light
00:03:47.699 00:03:47.709 commercial vehicles on the roads today
00:03:50.699 00:03:50.709 that's almost 30% of the total number of
00:03:54.330 00:03:54.340 vehicles registered where would they go
00:03:57.509 00:03:57.519 suddenly who would compensate the owners
00:04:00.599 00:04:00.609 if they were banned the environmental
00:04:03.960 00:04:03.970 impact alone of sidelining those
00:04:06.000 00:04:06.010 vehicles and replacing them would be
00:04:08.849 00:04:08.859 immensely negative I think you'd agree
00:04:11.330 00:04:11.340 more importantly in the political
00:04:13.770 00:04:13.780 dimension those 4 million ish owners of
00:04:18.150 00:04:18.160 the light vehicles they're probably
00:04:20.190 00:04:20.200 gonna be monumentally pissed off with
00:04:23.310 00:04:23.320 you if you ban them which is a cardinal
00:04:26.080 00:04:26.090 scene for a politician obsessed as most
00:04:28.900 00:04:28.910 ugly people are with their popularity
00:04:32.280 00:04:32.290 geographies the factor - right see in
00:04:34.900 00:04:34.910 Europe they just drive the outlawed
00:04:37.120 00:04:37.130 Diesel's east and sell them in some
00:04:40.000 00:04:40.010 discount car Emporium in east
00:04:43.689 00:04:43.699 and can't really do that here
00:04:46.210 00:04:46.220 goodbye see problematically we could
00:04:49.390 00:04:49.400 dump them all in the Franklin River I
00:04:51.129 00:04:51.139 suppose or build a bridge to the sheep
00:04:53.710 00:04:53.720 shaggers sorry that's probably
00:04:57.180 00:04:57.190 insensitive the merino molesters that
00:05:01.600 00:05:01.610 could work then there's the issue of
00:05:04.330 00:05:04.340 dirty diesel itself put in Volkswagen
00:05:07.210 00:05:07.220 assholes just to one side Diesel's not
00:05:09.610 00:05:09.620 actually dirty in a modern euro 5 or
00:05:12.280 00:05:12.290 euro six compliant diesel engine
00:05:14.290 00:05:14.300 pollution is controlled NOx is mitigated
00:05:17.020 00:05:17.030 particles emitted gated and yeah that's
00:05:18.850 00:05:18.860 a complex thing but certainly it's
00:05:21.490 00:05:21.500 doable
00:05:22.890 00:05:22.900 DPS beat lung cancer any day of the week
00:05:25.930 00:05:25.940 if you ask me so the complexity is
00:05:28.570 00:05:28.580 worthwhile so let's just be clear on
00:05:31.570 00:05:31.580 this pollution is a technical challenge
00:05:33.760 00:05:33.770 a combustion management and exhaust
00:05:36.940 00:05:36.950 treatment challenge and engineers can do
00:05:39.879 00:05:39.889 this yes because hey Engineers use
00:05:43.420 00:05:43.430 applied science to solve problems and
00:05:45.930 00:05:45.940 change the world but greenhouse right
00:05:49.600 00:05:49.610 co2 this is intrinsic to combustion it's
00:05:54.820 00:05:54.830 one of the two key combustion byproducts
00:05:58.089 00:05:58.099 of burning hydrocarbons and this is as
00:06:01.300 00:06:01.310 true of coal-fired electricity as it is
00:06:04.390 00:06:04.400 of the liquid fuels and it's why v's are
00:06:07.330 00:06:07.340 of course a fraud if you burn coal to
00:06:10.629 00:06:10.639 power them up you cannot subvert co2
00:06:13.960 00:06:13.970 production using clever engineering in
00:06:16.600 00:06:16.610 the way you can mitigate pollution co2
00:06:19.300 00:06:19.310 is part of the deal at a deep level of
00:06:23.129 00:06:23.139 hydrocarbon energy exploitation the only
00:06:26.770 00:06:26.780 way to minimise co2 is by minimizing the
00:06:29.950 00:06:29.960 amount of fuel you burn by making the
00:06:32.770 00:06:32.780 combustion process more efficient and
00:06:34.870 00:06:34.880 diesels are more efficient than petrol
00:06:37.810 00:06:37.820 by a long shot
00:06:39.440 00:06:39.450 the compression ratio is higher which
00:06:41.810 00:06:41.820 allows the fuel to expand over a greater
00:06:44.930 00:06:44.940 range when it burns and this delivers a
00:06:47.600 00:06:47.610 huge boost in thermal efficiency meaning
00:06:51.020 00:06:51.030 less co2 for any given amount of driving
00:06:54.590 00:06:54.600 and here's an example of that the Kia
00:06:56.420 00:06:56.430 Sorento v6 petrol 235 g/km of co2 on the
00:07:02.300 00:07:02.310 combined cycle this is a laboratory
00:07:05.080 00:07:05.090 standardized test the 2.2 diesel in the
00:07:08.480 00:07:08.490 same car 190 grams per kilometer that is
00:07:12.440 00:07:12.450 a 25% reduction in greenhouse gas
00:07:16.130 00:07:16.140 thanks to burning diesel instead of
00:07:18.710 00:07:18.720 petrol you cannot argue with this it's
00:07:21.800 00:07:21.810 thermodynamics we are not going to ban
00:07:25.610 00:07:25.620 diesel in Australia for a variety of
00:07:28.760 00:07:28.770 reasons it will not happen you know
00:07:32.270 00:07:32.280 there are still two hundred and twenty
00:07:33.980 00:07:33.990 one thousand five hundred and eighty
00:07:35.240 00:07:35.250 three cars in Australia today that
00:07:37.790 00:07:37.800 require leaded petrol that is according
00:07:40.340 00:07:40.350 to the Shitsville Bureau of Statistics
00:07:42.350 00:07:42.360 for 2017 we banned tetraethyl lead from
00:07:47.270 00:07:47.280 petrol nationally by January the first
00:07:50.170 00:07:50.180 2002 then Federal Minister for the
00:07:53.030 00:07:53.040 environment Robert Hill announced that
00:07:55.460 00:07:55.470 on the 15th of March 2000 that is more
00:07:59.210 00:07:59.220 than 18 years ago and still today you
00:08:02.180 00:08:02.190 can drive a leaded petrol powered HQ
00:08:05.240 00:08:05.250 Holden over the Shitsville Harbour
00:08:07.550 00:08:07.560 Bridge it's just you and your four
00:08:10.280 00:08:10.290 closest mates wearing village people
00:08:12.890 00:08:12.900 costumes on the way to the Mardi Gras
00:08:14.540 00:08:14.550 with complete impunity I'm John Cadogan
00:08:20.120 00:08:20.130 given the staggering pace with which
00:08:22.280 00:08:22.290 Strayer tightens up its act
00:08:24.820 00:08:24.830 environmentally if you buy a diesel
00:08:27.650 00:08:27.660 conveyance today it will be dead and
00:08:29.720 00:08:29.730 buried pushing up daisies demised passed
00:08:32.510 00:08:32.520 on requiescat in part a kick the bucket
00:08:36.350 00:08:36.360 a stiff pining for the friggin fjords
00:08:39.020 00:08:39.030 and we will still be buying diesel in
00:08:41.510 00:08:41.520 the hearts of our fine cities thanks for
00:08:45.380 00:08:45.390 watching
