New EPA rules

[JimT]

I haven't followed this closely as most "sources" are just random social media personalities. Very few reputable primary sources. Like jmartin said. Seems mostly to be focused on relaxing/repealing upcoming/future regulations/requirements. Haven't seen any primary sources talk about long existing regs such as those that relate to EGR/DPF/SCR requirements that we already deal with.

On the one hand I'd like to at least see them repeal laws/regs/rules/penalties for emissions tampering and such, but on the other hand those same have helped to get a lot of the junk/harmful parts and services off the market (or at least made the junk harder to get). I like having cleaner emissions, but I don't like the current "solutions" to the problem. In any case the recent trend of government pushing currently near impossible (or at least highly impractical) emissions requirements needs to stop. I'm all for the proposed bill that would remove the strong emissions requirements while also providing an incentive for OEM's to develop newer tech without the fear of insane penalties. The EPA, in connection with CARB, has been pushing too hard, too fast and has been given way too much power. And CARB's ability to interfere with interstate commerce needs to be stopped otherwise what congress actually does do would be pointless.
