Let just give up now and live in grass huts....the EPA, congress both Dim presidential candidates are all traitors....

This is just nuts. Ships operate at sea. There is *no* air pollution problem at sea, because there are *no* mountains to concentrate the air pollutants in one place. This is simply nuts. The cost will be enormous!

“...... nation’s locomotives, ships and passenger ferries. “

Shut it down!!! Shut the entire thing down and see how these traitors like what they end up with. Let them see how the American people respond when these jobs are ALL gone.

It’s far past the time to play hardball with these corrupt bastards.

Enough of this death of our country by a thousand cuts.....

I will take exception to the thrust of this thread, because I know that foreign ships are a major, major contribtor to pollution in So.CA. Long Beach, CA accepts 40% of all shipped US goods, and filthy foriegn flagged ships belch a huge amount of pollution there.

There is room for improvement in maritime laws, all the way around. Flag nations like Nigeria need to have their ships reigned in.
