All the trucks that run on diesel who go into New York, should refuse to cross their borders.

Everyone knows that truckers make the country run, and even though many of the truck are in NY and operate solely withing NY, the over the road diesel truckers boycotting NY could quickly repeal this law.

NOTHING is going to stop these ridiculous laws until someone takes a stand.

$30,000 per truck/car is ludicrous...if I had a diesel automobile, it would be cheaper to trade it in on a gasoline model than to retrofit it.

Sounds like the Governor or NY is running the state on the "obama" model...EXTORTION.

Who would you trade it to? The value will go through the floor, cause whoever buys it will have to include the retrofit in their valuations. If this doesn't end up being some kind of nationwide EPA mandate there will be a possibility of selling out of state. I can see some enterprising businessmen paying pennies on the dollar then transporting the diesels out of state and selling them at retail, but inside the state, the diesels will be worth squat.
