    Most msm are propaganda talking heads.. they rarely tell you what you need to know but rather what they want to tell you.. look at CNN for example..

    Manufacturers have invested millions into emission compliance, I don’t see them giving up and changing direction when, if this does even happen, they could end up going back the other way in 2028.

    As far as KW, the Renton plant is being converted to medium duty KW and Pete production to move it out of Canada and Mexico.

    Don't cheer yet, there are a lot of complicated issues that have to be addressed, and this only applies to new cars and trucks, but may not even involve HD trucks - class 7 or 8.

    • it removes the waivers from California to have stricter emissions.
    • it doesn't eliminate emissions systems.
    • it eliminates the CO2 greenhouse gas reduction standards and will take it off the pollutants list
    • it doesn't help in any way as TKG has claimed; he has been wrong before.
    This really targets California's EV mandates and the Biden EV mandates by eliminating the co2 aspect in the EPA regs.

    Now that said, I have said this before and will say it again, we are a fractured industry, pretty ***** lazy one at that, because we can support a Bill that does work for us when it comes to emissions crap they put on the truck, but we do not even look at it as an industry.

    That bill is S.711 - Transportation Freedom Act, which is pretty easy to understand. It eliminates the emissions regulations for the trucks, and allows us to delete the systems that make our lives a living hell. It allows US to decide if we want to or not. It is stuck in committee and needs to be shoved into Congress and voted on. We need it.
