I would honestly rather have higher diesel prices and less efficient fuel if removing sulfur is the counterpoint. Sulfur emissions lead to acid rain which can absolutely destroy the land. If you live near mountains, where the clouds float past/around they can become complete dead zones. Certain areas will only be able to grow some crops without even more fertilizer. And the additional fertilizer goes into the ground water AND the acid rain goes into the ground water and it makes it expensive or impossible to drink from. Give me clean air, water, and natural habitat over slightly cheaper diesel fuel any day. It's our own fault we rely on personal cars and freight for too much, anyways.
