The EPA’s Latest Regulation Could Devastate The Trucking Industry
Daily Caller ^ | December 25, 2022 | Jack McEvoy

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized a rule Tuesday that will impose stricter nitrogen dioxide emissions standards on new heavy-duty trucks, a move that will substantially hike operating costs for truckers, experts and industry representatives told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

EPA Administrator Michael Regan said that the rule would protect “historically overburdened communities,” that are disproportionately affected by trucking emissions as truck freight routes are often located near “vulnerable populations,” according to the press release.


The "overburdened communities" are American farmers. Too bad for you puke @ss city dwelling liberals

If those “historically overburdened communities” think things are bad now, i.e. they live in “food deserts” b/c of shop lifting, rioting and looting, they’re gonna love it when the supply lines are cut off completely.

A smart Republican Governor with a highly blue city should take this rule and say no diesel or gasoline trucks are allowed to deliver to the city. Let the blue mayors figure that out.

Over-regulation = fascism.

I refuse to play and enjoy retirement on my homestead on Galt’s Knob.

When NYC realized their electric snowplow trucks could only run 4 hours instead of the typical 12 hr shift for diesels, they quickly changed their plans.

OK, and what about the charging grid? Battery explosions in accidents? Reefer power (refrigerator units on trailers) and on and on and on.. (they don’t care..they want us dead.)

More supply chain sabotage. What could be the endgame? Even dairies take care of their cows. They don’t intentionally destroy them. They milk us, why destroy us? Is it even conscious on their part?

The pointy headed idiots have no clue what diesel engines power.

Farming
Drilling and fracking
Back up generators
Deliveries of all that we consume
Airport vehicles
Maritime operations
Cranes
and a lot more that I can’t think of right now.

No way in hell can “green” energy take the place of diesel powered equipment.

Perhaps. But the powers in charge do and they’re continuing their plan to destroy America and make you and I, serfs.

The contraction of NO2 in the US atmosphere is 64% less than it was in 1980. It’s about 40 parts per billion. Per the safety data sheet, the exposure limit is 1 part per million in 15 minutes. 40 ppb is .04 ppm.

In other words, it’s another government solution to a problem that doesn’t exist at a cost to every person in the country.

EPA needs to be closed.

"Battery explosions in accidents?"

Now you've gone and done it. EV-Fellator will be along momentarily to accuse you of being...anti-American.

People are the carbon they want to reduce. That is their endgame.
