Why are GE locomotives better than EMD?

I have seen numerous GE units through the years belching smoke like a steam engine. And that includes the recent units UP took on. I have to admit, rarely have I seen an EMD belching smoke as bad as a GE. The worst GE smokeout I ever saw was in the early 1980's, a MoPac autorack train doing at least 60 mph near Hope, Kansas. I thought I was seeing a steam engine clad in dark blue sheet metal. Since then I have seen numerous GE's polluting the landscape. If an EPA inspector would have seen that Mopac unit darkening the sky, he would have had heart failure. I have yet to see an EMD unit, even come close to polluting the sky like some of the GE's do.
