New clean trucking rule causing major concerns

not anymore. lol

wasn't as bad 40 yrs ago, when I moved down here to find more work to support a new family.

 

Talk about getting the cart before the horse!!!

 

Carts with no horses. Thats zero emissions.

 

Horses fart though methane gas. lol

 

Zero ####s given here. I'm just going to watch it all fail.

 

Is it just me, or are they doing this ### backwards just like with the cars? It's like buy furniture for house you haven't built/bought!
They are shoving electric vehicles down our throats with NO infrastructure to support it!
Not to mention the impact that producing those batteries causes! That's an entire issue all in itself! F NY and Electric! Oh and California!

 

Follow the money always follow the money to find out why it’s being rammed down our throats.

 

I know that's right!! Along with about 100 other things that could be mentioned!
I'm glad Trumps not a big fan of electric.

 

May I contribute a different perspective? I’m writing this while in Beaumont California, the so-called Inland Empire area, which is the most polluted place in the US (maybe some areas around Houston or Galveston are similar?). There are hundreds of warehouses and thousands of trucks here. There are also a lot of people who live here and breathe the air. We’ve been doing smog checks on cars here for years. With all that in mind, I’m not sure what’s the big deal about doing smog checks on trucks too. As far as I know, registering with CARB is not expensive, and there are various ways to comply with CTC. It doesn’t seem to me to be such a big price to pay to be able to operate in the state with the biggest economy. Isn’t it worth it? Just wondering if there are some of you who can also see it from that angle too. Sincerely asking, not trying to be negative in any way.
