What comes out of the diesel plants? 10 times what comes out of all our cars while providing 100 times the useful power. Actually that's not fair. For all their faults the big plants spill much less fuel when fueling up than we all do at the gas pumps and leak an insignificant amount of lubricating oil into the environment compared to what all the Puna junkers do. But basically it is CO2, CO, some NOx, and some particulates. All of these are bad for you and for the environment but if we instantly stopped all these plants lots of people would die even quicker.
