Modern diesels (even the "rogue" VW ones) are actually pretty green. There have been recent studies claiming they're greener than EV when the entire production lifecycle is factored, but I think that is BS. They're not greener the EV cars, especially ones on a solar charger, but nothing like the diesels I grew up with.
But modern diesels are still "cleaner" than most modern gas cars.
