Cummins just dropped a new PR puff piece called “The Hidden Hero of Safe Water Infrastructure<\/em>“. It\u2019s a masterpiece of self-congratulation – two blokes in polo shirts, saving civilisation one diesel generator at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s be honest: this isn\u2019t heroism. It\u2019s hypocrisy in high-vis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\u2019re lecturing the world on \u201csafe water\u201d and \u201cpublic health\u201d while flogging the same diesel-belching machines that increase dirty flood waters and turn skies grey. The irony\u2019s so thick you could bottle it. Cummins wants credit for powering the pumps that clear floodwater – the same kind of floodwater made filthier and more frequent by the emissions from their engines. That\u2019s not a solution; that\u2019s a vicious circle with a logo on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWithin ten seconds, we\u2019re required to re-energize those loads\u201d<\/em> says a Cummins rep. Within ten years, maybe try re-energising your conscience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They talk about \u201cresilience\u201d like it\u2019s a moral virtue, but what they\u2019re really selling is dependency – a future where disaster equals demand. Every hurricane, every blackout, every drowned town means more backup generators, more diesel, more profit. And when the waterlines rise again, Cummins will be there, patting itself on the back for keeping the taps running while pretending not to notice the tide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then comes the classic closer… \u201cAn unwavering commitment to reliability.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sure. Right up until regulators catch you cheating emissions tests or poisoning the air over the same reservoirs you claim to protect. Reliability\u2019s easy when you don\u2019t have a conscience to clog the pipes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So here\u2019s to the \u201chidden hero\u201d of safe water – hiding in plain sight, selling diesel as salvation while the planet gasps for air. Cummins doesn\u2019t protect clean water. It profits off the mess that makes it dirty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
