"Health effect estimates"

"This new study estimates that ..."

Which means people did a study, and drew some conclusions, which you reject in a comment on the internet. Do you have research that contradicts theirs? do you have concerns with their methodology?

estimates vs "has killed".

Coal plants have killed. NOx emissions have killed. Lead has killed. Nuclear waste has killed. Gamma rays have killed.

You're trying to complicate something that is very simple.

It is of course entirely possible that coal/lead/nuclear/etc. provide way more benefit than the harm, too.

Like that Puerto Rico hurricane study?

Do you have research that shows clean diesel makes people live?

Maybe you should pipe diesel to a tank containing a person, err wait not a person a money... Oh wait. Volkswagen did that.
