As part of its aggressive green agenda, the Biden administration on Friday imposed new strict pollution standards for buses, trucks, and other heavy-duty vehicles that would all but necessitate electrification.
Released by the Environmental Protection Agency, the rule progressively restricts the level of pollution trucks can legally emit across a manufacturer’s offerings for model years 2027 through 2032.
The rule applies to vehicles, including tractor-trailers, school buses, R.V.s, garbage trucks, and cement mixers, and aims to combat climate impact from this part of the transportation sector.

By the way: that’s not the Biden “administration”. It’s the Biden infestation.

This is 2024. 2027 is three years away. Assuming the next president is in his right mind, can’t this new “standard” be immediately removed? Particularly since air quality here has been improving steadily already. I realize that we can’t stop air from the big pollution producers from flowing into this country, and they aren’t about to follow our foolish EPA edicts.

I will never understand how under our constitution these regulatory agencies are able to make up de-facto laws the way that they do.

It's not about the environment.
It's about destroying American freedom, the American economy and the American way of life.
Also, the pain of trying to meet these regulations will occur when The HairSniffer is safely retired, leaving the next person to 'face the music'.
Meantime, the ChiComs burned 4,600,000,000 TONS of Coal last year, and India is right behind them.

I always wonder just who in the administration comes up the daily barrage of programs that suspend yet another American right. It's certainly not Biden himself; we know he'll sign anything put in front of him and that his main concern each day is finding the closest Baskin-Robbins.

Modern civilization is entirely dependent on access to refined hydrocarbons. Why do democrats want so badly to do away with civilization? Do they believe that they would prosper, as nations crash and people starve in numbers never before witnessed in human history? How does a "green agenda" stack up against red blood running in the streets of our large citiesa, amidst rotting corpses? No diesel, no food; it's that simple. Only one thing seems clear as to the plans of the left and that is they must find a way to ban/confiscate firearms and ammunition from law abiding citizens, while they turn blind eyes towards actual criminal behavior. If one were to count the number of democrat mayors and other elected or appointed officials nation-wide, and compare that number to the number of front-line democrat street cops, one might conclude democrats are inherently cowardly and fear the populace over which they feel entitled to rule, rather than represent. A starving population is not a kind, patient population, and no amount of skirting our Constitution can ever put the firearms genie back in the bottle.

They should start with pollution standards for the first moron in the WH. Good God, is that man common, crude and vulgar or what?

Wouldn't The Beast be considered to be a heavy-duty vehicle and thus be required to be replaced by a battery operated vehicle?

This is why Trump must win. All these regulations can be undone by a Trump EPA.

Air Force 1 pollutes more than any fifty buses or trucks and all it does is haul a worthless piece of garbage from place to place and back again.

I hope someone is keeping a list of all this idiocy that must be reversed, item by item, after the Biden/Democrat regime is booted out. Remember that Joe Biden is just the figurehead of that criminal organization.

These "pollution standards" have ZERO basis in fact for any actual harm. The Clean Air Act needs to be revisited and the requirements tolled back to about 1990 levels of emissions, and LOCKED DOWN there permanently.
Clip the wings of the EPA permanently. Remove their power to rewrite these "pollution" regulations.

The Teamsters Union should simply park all long haul trucks that bring most of the food across the USA for a couple of weeks and let Biden and his activist leftist and socialist Democrat crew see what the reaction of average Americans will be when there is no food in the grocery stores.
