This totally won’t increase the cost of goods, including food, right? Pretty much everything that moves by truck. TVs, computers, smartphones, clothes, shoes, vehicles (car carriers), guitars, beds and sheets, couches, chairs, tables, appliances, etc and so on
Biden cracks down on diesel trucks in bid to fight climate change, reduce emissions
The Biden administration finalized long-awaited regulations targeting emissions generated from heavy-duty vehicles, including trucks and buses, the latest salvo in President Biden’s sweeping climate agenda.
The Environmental Protection Agency announced the new regulations Friday morning, and officials said they represent the strongest-ever greenhouse gas emissions standards of their kind. The rules will kick in beginning in 2026 for model year 2027 vehicles and progressively become more stringent through model year 2032, forcing a larger number of trucks and buses to be zero-emissions in that time frame.
“EPA’s standards complement President Biden’s unprecedented investment in our workers and communities to reduce harmful emissions, while strengthening our manufacturing capacity for the transportation technologies of the future,” said White House Climate Advisor Ali Zaidi. “By tackling pollution from heavy-duty vehicles, we can unlock extraordinary public health, climate, and economic gains.” (snip)
The new regulations apply to short-haul and long-haul tractor-trailer trucks, in addition to vocational trucks like delivery vehicles, garbage trucks, school and public transit buses, concrete trucks and fire trucks. EPA previously projected that the standards could lead to 50% of vocational trucks, 35% of short-haul tractor-trailers and 25% of long-haul tractor-trailers produced in 2032 being electric.
What could possibly go wrong with this? The Biden regime just keeps finding more and more ways to increase our cost of living.
government has become a never ending quest to come up with more things to justify their jobs and paychecks.
Eemember how inflation skyrocketed when the dummkopf from Delaware took office? The Dems blamed that on the guy who was now out of office, and did everything they could to fight inflation. But now they want to force expenses higher on diesel trucks, and everything you buy, ever, from virtually anyplace, has been shipped there on a diesel-powered truck.
What could go wrong????????
Dana twaddle.

Democrat leaders compete with each other to see who can implement the lowest standards.
