Idiots at the service of a hoax are throwing monkey wrenches into the economic works and telling us how great it will be.



Biden cracks down on diesel trucks in bid to fight climate change, reduce emissions

quote:

The trucking industry warns these stringent new measures could have far-reaching economic repercussions


quote:

The Environmental Protection Agency announced the new regulations Friday morning, and officials said they represent the strongest-ever greenhouse gas emissions standards of their kind. The rules will kick in beginning in 2026 for model year 2027 vehicles and progressively become more stringent through model year 2032, forcing a larger number of trucks and buses to be zero-emissions in that time frame.


quote:

White House Climate Advisor Ali Zaidi. "By tackling pollution from heavy-duty vehicles, we can unlock extraordinary public health, climate, and economic gains."

I hope that if Trump wins he announces a suspension of all of this bullshite during his inaugural address, pending final determination after 90 days as required by the APA.

The truck manufacturers still do not have their DEF systems working properly...

More rules brought to you by people that have never done a damn thing in their life...

Dear Biden:

This couldn’t possibly blow up in their faces…

The energy content in Diesel fuel is so far superior to alternatives that there should be no argument. Sure diesel smells rough but the efficiency is fantastic. GMC has a 3.0 liter Turbo diesel 1/2 ton pickup that gets in the mid-30s MPG and can tow 10,000 lbs. Compare that to a V8 gas powered engine in the same truck that gets 1/2 that MPG. Diesel flat out makes more energy & does more work than any viable alternative.

I'm hoping I didn't miss it, but this isn't targeting smaller personal use diesels is it? They run cleaner than gas vehicles.

Zaidi is a native paki lawyer.
What he knows about emissions, economics and business is zilch.
This policy is to cause inflation, destroy the economy and undermine the US.

Brake dust and tire wear produce more emissions than people realize.

You know what causes more brake dust and tire wear???

EV that on average are 30-60% heavier than your standard ICE vehicle.

This will actually succeed in the "zero emissions" department as it will pull a bunch of trucks off the highway and do nothing but hurt Americans.

This seems like stopping too short though. why don't they make car manufacturers sell all cars for 200 bucks and get 9000 miles to the gallon?

Biden needs to start with himself in making a difference in climate change, the white House can only use biodegradable diapers, diaper bags and wipes for Biden. That should be equivalent emissions to a few thousand 18 wheelers

How does this policy lead to economic gains? That’s absurd. Actually all of it is, but economic gains?

Trump is going to have to dedicate a sizable number of motivated and qualified people simply to undo everything this idiot usurper has been doing for four years.

Yuge case was argued before the SCOTUS back in January of this year.

The so-called 'Chevron Doctrine' have been used for decades by unelected, unaccountable, useless bureaucrats to cripple our country.

If the SCOTUS overturns Chevron, it would be a tremendous boost to bringing in an over-bearing federal bureaucracy.

The so-called 'Chevron Doctrine' has been twisted by the left to give all these alphabet agencies tremendous power over the US and our economy.

Many of these clowns who are making tremendous decisions are unelected and unaccountable useless corrupt-crats.

quote:

It has been nearly 40 years since the Supreme Court indicated in Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Council that courts should defer to an agency’s reasonable interpretation of an ambiguous statute. After more than three-and-a-half hours of oral argument on Wednesday, it seemed unlikely that the rule outlined in that case, known as the Chevron doctrine, will survive in its current form. A majority of the justices seemed ready to jettison the doctrine or at the very least significantly limit it.

The court’s ruling could have ripple effects across the federal government, where agencies frequently use highly trained experts to interpret and implement federal laws. Although the doctrine was relatively noncontroversial when it was first introduced in 1984, in recent years conservatives – including some members of the Supreme Court – have called for it to be overruled.
