The EPA Is About to Outlaw Your Car.
PJ Media ^ | 3.19.2024 | Stephen Green

Posted on 03/20/2024 11:29:14 AM PDT by Carriage Hill

"Outlaw your car" sounds like such an outrageous phrase, and technically speaking, it isn't true — but only barely. What practical difference is there between outlawing something, and regulating it out of existence? That's exactly what the EPA intends to do this week with strict new rules going forward against gas- and diesel-powered cars and light trucks.

Is this the “Don’t say gas powered!” mandate?

It's OK. I'll mount a sail on my car's roof--wind power, baby!

When I finished my grad studies in the early 1970's, we all scrambled for jobs. A good friend when to work for a small new agency in DC. He wrote me a few months later, telling me about his job. He said his director came in one morning and told all of them to slow down on processing the paper work..."let the In Box pile up" were his words. A little over a week later, the GAO came in on a "surprise inspection" to see if it was true that we were "buried in paper work". Because of the visit, his agency's budget was increased and more workers hired.

This confirmed two theories I have. 1) there is no incentive to be productive or efficient when there is no reward to doing so and it's not your money, and 2) controlling more workers and growing your staff in DC means getting noticed and climbing the social ladder. I firmly believe both are true.

The agency was the EPA.

On a related note, gov't agencies are not suppose to pass laws. The are to advise law makers on policy, not make it. However, Congress has abdicated its responsibility of oversight and simply rubber-stamps whatever the agencies want. This crap has to stop.

“EPA is just one of the agencies needing to be closed.”
That is just step one.
2. All politicians voting for anything to do with the EPA arrested.
3. All EPA members and those in step 2 to be executed.
4. Remains burned and sent into the sun.
5. Families of the above to be deported. to a third world country of their choice. (If whites can be blamed for things they didn’t do, so can loathsome familes of leftists.

“Our saide” is nowhere, as usual. The Cheese & Cufflinks Crowd is AWOL on this and so much more.

They’ve sure got a long range plan of evil, and are working it closely.

When gas stations and dealerships disappear, maintenance will be virtually impossible. My 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee V8 HEMI is not a ‘shade tree mechanic’s” backyard project, and certainly not the muscle cars we worked on in the 60s & 70s.

“...eventually Americans just won’t put up with the nonsense. “


I am still waiting for America, or anyone else in the West to fight back against any of this stuff.

We saw in 2020 that people were put under house arrest and almost no-one did anything.

I hear what you’re saying. It will be difficult. But it is do-able. Electronic parts will be problematic, but work-arounds and replacements will be found/made.

And I work on cars more than most, have OBD-II cables and computer software beyond basic emissions and fault checking.

“if allowed to stand, it’s going to be a disaster for the country.”

One might say a bloodbath.

Got a VCDS?

If you’re at all technically inclined, I recommend having one.
