EPA Finalizes Rules to Decimate US Trucking Industry and Send Consumer Goods Prices Soaring | The Gateway Pundit | by Jim Hoft

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized a rule Tuesday that will impose stricter nitrogen dioxide emissions standards on new heavy-duty trucks, a move that will substantially hike operating costs for truckers, experts and industry representatives told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
The EPA’s rule, which is more than 80% stricter than the previous regulation, will require large trucks, delivery vans and buses manufactured after 2027 to cut nitrogen dioxide emissions by nearly 50% by 2045, according to an agency press release. The agency’s rule is intended to push truckers to phase out diesel-powered vehicles and use electric vehicles (EV) instead; however, the compliance costs associated with such rules could suffocate an industry that is not ready to transition to EVs, experts told the DCNF.

good, by 2045, I should be dead, or at least in a Nursing home, so I don't care.
what we need is a President that will get rid of all these regulation, or at least push them back 50 years. NO ONE is ready for a EV, the industry isn't ready, the grid isn't ready, no one is ready

Sounds like a good plan. We have a trucker emergency and an inflation problem now so let’s make the cost of doing business skyrocket. That will help our current position. People better wake up.

When I buy my own truck, I’m not getting anything newer than 2004. I think that towing the broken down newer trucks or electric trucks will be a lucrative niche.

There will never be an America without diesel trucks unless and until some really great new technology comes online. Electric tractor trailers, dump trucks, excavators, off-road trucks, fuel trucks, highway plow trucks, and so on?
GTFOH!
Electric commercial vehicles as the "technology" stands right now are a failure before they even go to the planning stage, let alone the manufacturing phase.
The evil retards running FUSA are doing this shit on purpose, just like the EUtarded commie politicos are doing the same to their own people. Everything bad that has been happening to the EU for 25 years is being implemented in FUSA at a highly accelerated pace, because world wide communism MUST destroy the United States of America.
Our nation was basically the last true bastion of Liberty, but now it is doomed. Our sell out political and corporate masters are a reflection of citizenry that could care less about maintaining a constitutional Republic or fundamental and God-given Rights.

Here is big government creating a bigger problem.
Don't worry though government will be a long soon to solve it. It will only cost, your freedom and hard earned income.

Don't bother they either won't register it or they won't insure it either way it won't be allowed on a highway .

IFTA and apportioned plates for the win. Nothing saying I have to register it in NY. Many companies register in OK or IN for equipment that doesn’t ever leave the state, my current gig included. There will always be holdout states that will plate damn near anything.

This actually starts to take effect on 2028 model trucks. One of my coworkers was in a meeting with the EPA and CARB and was informed of the new regulations. The exhaust aftertreatment systems at that point will need to be equivalent of 3 systems using current technology to meet the standards.
Originally the EPA had planned to roll this out in 2030 but CARB has pushed for the earlier date. This is why almost all OEM's are in the process of developing alternative power sources.

The whole point of this shit has nothing to do with the climate, efficiency, health, economic sense, or anything else that is claimed.
They want us cold, hungry, malleable, compliant, and desperate, just like the people in the different Euro nation states. American politicians and their corporate masters have been slavering as they've watched for decades at how much of their own freedom and culture Europeans were willing to give away for higher taxes, fewer jobs, defenselessness in the face of other militant nations, dependency on third world shit holes for manufactured goods, raw materials, and (particularly) fuel.
Both parties in FUSA are following the EU pattern of debasing their own people with incremental socialism and fascism (the melding of government and big money/business). Nearly all of our own politicos are traitors sold out to the highest bidders, foreign and domestic.
Trucking is absolutely indispensable to a free and prosperous nation. They know this, just as they know that electric vehicles will never replace internal combustion engines without some major breakthrough in technology and science.
They know "going green" is stupid and doomed to failure, and that is exactly what they want. The elites and their puppets in government at all levels HATE what this country was supposed to stand for, as evidenced by their total scorn and flagrant disregard for our Founding documents, particularly the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.
The Euro assholes had decades to work on staving off their energy dependence, but kept chugging along to the green paradise until their people are now being threatened with having their digital thermostats turned down or off by remote, and the electric car charging docks turned off. The Eurocrats never intended to solve their energy "problems" because those problems were opportunities for tyranny,
Is it any freaking coincidence that FUSA was energy independent just a few years ago under Trump, and now we're paying double and triple at the pump for oil-based fuels WHEN THERE IS NO SHORTAGE OF OIL WHATSOEVER?
There are vast, untouched reserves of oil, natural gas, minerals, etc. in the United States, such that we could once again be the greatest wealth producing manufacturing and supply juggernaut we were in the past.
They don't want out nation prosperous, because a prosperous people are a free people.
"Clean" and "Green" are lies to debase us as a nation.
Even if electric everything really was the wave of the future, it would be many decades before the infrastructure was built to meet the supply and demand for it.
There is no prudence at all behind any of this, no time for a reasonable transition so people aren't made bankrupt or pariahs because they can't get ahead of the curve fast enough, and absolutely no admission by anyone on the green train that their bullshit tech will NOT supply enough power and goods to make the green dream actually come true.

If I had any confidence this was really the *final* standard I would sat it's a good thing, at least they've stopped.
But it isn't. Nobody with 1/4 of a brain can possibly think there's anything *final* about this.

If they only knew what the usual result is of forcing your population into this state.
Someone ought to write a book detailing what has happened to previous governments when their citizens reach this state.
It's not pretty.

I’ve read a few articles from individuals that were very pro ev and pro electric in general but that were still realistic and grounded in their views. They love ev’s and think they are the future but are not the today. All of them said 2 things-the infrastructure will not currently support ev’s and other electric tech and the ev’s of the future will not be the ev’s we are seeing produced now.
