This standard should be fought and fought hard. The reason is simple enough. When was enough, ever enough for environmental activists? I harken back to the days of silence when very few such folks were given a listening ear. Once they began to be heard, the goal posts have been moving with unfortunate and increasingly expensive regularity.
They will continue to move the goal posts until we all are walking in loin cloth robes and wiping our butts with our hands.

I have a diesel car. When fuel had higher sulfur it got better mileage and the fuel was half the price. Now the mileage is slightly lower and fuel costs up to $4 per gallon. Diesel requires the least refining of the fuels. You can basically strain the sand out of the lighter crude and burn it in the engine.
Everything we buy is delivered by truck. This standard has greatly contributed to food and goods inflation.
I think their ought to be a requirement that every new rule have an economic impact statement. When you add them all together you’d see that one of the biggest contributors to our economic malaise are environmental rules and regulations.
