Truckers warn of potential supply chain problems due to Biden EPA’s latest electric vehicle regulations
Post Millennial ^ | 9/8/23 | Katie Daviscourt

American truckers have issued a warning about the Biden administration's plans to reduce air pollution by cracking down on heavy-duty vehicle emissions, saying that President Biden's proposed policies will crush the supply chain and put the American food supply at risk.

Under the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which aims to reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides and other pollutants by enacting stringent new regulations on heavy-duty vehicles and machinery, businesses will be subjected to unattainable standards which will result in high inflation and put trucking companies out of business, American trucking officials warn.

Mike Kucharski, vice president and co-owner of JKC Trucking, told Fox News that the Biden administration's proposal will reportedly push small business trucking companies out of business, which amount to 95 percent of the industry. He warned that the EPA regulations will restrict transportation capacity nationwide, and result in severe price inflation "worse than we have right now," which will be passed on to consumers.

A $1.2B hoax.

Biden administration to invest $1.2 billion in projects to suck carbon out of the air

On Friday, (8/11/23) the US Department of Energy announced it is spending $1.2 billion to fund two new demonstration projects in Texas and Louisiana – the South Texas Direct Air Capture hub and Project Cypress in Louisiana.

Yeah, like a giant vacuum. Unfrigginbelievable

"They wanted a photo of the bad egg."

I've never been asked for a photo for any of the food items I've written about. I've never even used the camera on my iPhone, and I've had it for at least 8 years. Most companies want the UPC, and the expiration/best used by date. I buy England's best eggs all the time. Fortunately, I've never had one like you described...knock on wood.

We stopped going to Walmart when I saw they were part of the WEF.

They wanted the lot code to trace it back to their supplier. I gave them that.

Democrats sure don’t seem like they are worried about an election coming up.

Prepper Ping - Supply chain threatened by new EPA standards on trucking emissions, especially smaller local delivery systems from warehouses and distribution centers
These new, unattainable standards are going to squeeze out smaller carriers who can't meet the new standards,
and will increase costs to the consumer, many of whom are already living off credit cards.(at 22% + interest)

CFW :" The leftists and climate-cultists have to kill humanity in order to save it. '

(From the article):" American truckers have issued a warning about the Biden administration's plans to reduce air pollution by cracking down on heavy-duty vehicle emissions,
saying that President Biden's proposed policies will crush the supply chain and put the American food supply at risk."

"Under the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which aims to reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides and other pollutants
by enacting stringent new regulations on heavy-duty vehicles and machinery, businesses will be subjected to unattainable standards
which will result in high inflation and put trucking companies out of business, American trucking officials warn."(Emphasis Mine)

"Mike Kucharski, vice president and co-owner of JKC Trucking, told Fox News that the Biden administration's proposal
will reportedly push small business trucking companies out of business, which amount to 95 percent of the industry.
He warned that the EPA regulations will restrict transportation capacity nationwide,
and result in severe price inflation "worse than we have right now," which will be passed on to consumers."

(My Opinion): Many of these smaller trucking companies who can't make the cut, are local distributors delivering from local warehouses.
Local distributor trucking companies are already paying significantly more for diesel fuel thanks to the Biden "war on carbon" (misnamed fossil fuels).
Electric vehicles don't make 'common sense' north of the Mason-Dixon line, or where temperatures colder than 32 degrees exist for more than 3-4 consecutive days.
The EPA has outlived its usefulness to keep consumers safe, as it is now used to control our home heating sources, our toilets flow rate, air pollution,
transportation fuels, lighting fixtures, clothes washers and dryers, and even home fans.
The EPA has historically changed from a safety agency, and is now a dogmatic, over-bearing, controlling arm of the administration without discourse or even an appeal process.
Furthermore, these unobtainable standards cannot be met without crisis and chaos in the trucking community, and will be especially felt among the consumers by increased costs.

And they know it’s a hoax just like they knew Russia collusion was a hoax as well as all those Trump impeachments, and the fake “insurrection” and now all the Trump indictments, and the Republican party continues to sit back and play deaf and dumb.

Indeed. That is the plain and simple truth of the matter.

In a pinch, a diesel engine can be made to burn on used vegetable oil from a restaurant deep fryer. So stock up on restaurant deep fryer oil, too.

And guns and ammo, and canned goods, and nuts and grains, and booze (no Bud Light;-)...

Raise livestock where possible...
