They cite Diesel trucks but in California they require a retrofit that cost about 30,000.00 for engines up to 500 hp. Over 500 hp two systems.
Most semis, I understand run about 550 hp. The requirement even includes fork lifts etc.
Diesels are now about as clean as you can get their exhaust, to the point of being a whole lot cleaner than the air in southern California. These people treat Americans as fools just like when they said small cars were safer than large SUVs. At the time it was targeted at diesel Expeditions.
The problem is this x many people produce x amount of pollution and consume x amount of resources. They are bringing in more people and the x is now xxxxxx. They want the same for us or Mexico does.
Pollution cannot be reduced by shifting the energy consumption to nuclear plants, or coal fired electrical plants etc.
They have some restrictions, catalytic converters, for wood stoves in parts of that state. Pollution is real and they are making it worse and blaming it on everyone but themselves.
