Pollution in Europe
Doggydogworld
I support the T2B5 standards for diesels. Do You?
And I applaud the resolution of the American politicians of both parties, who had the intestinal fortitude
to withstand cries to let in the the propaganda named 'clean diesels' from Europe.
If we had done so, we may as well have said, cars don't need catalytic converters either. It is just about
the same thing.
Do You support T2B5? Unlike others, I don't think we should inflict the pollution of more diesel than
neccessary and widespead diesels on America, until they are at least as clean as the poorest gasoline
cars.
That is what the T2B5 standard is. Merely making the 'cleanest diesel' that so many here detest, as
tooexpensive, into the equivalent of the dirtiest gasoline car allowed to be sold.
At least we won't be making the air dirtier than now. We environmentalsits fought too hard to get this far,
to go backwards. As for myself, I would prefer that we quickly upgrade the standard to the equivalent of
the cleaner, more modern, gasoline cars, so I urge the adoption of tougher T2B2 from T2B5, as soon as
possible.
When you travel to Europe, its easy to tell what the consequences of poor emissions standards are.
European emissions standards are literally a joke. The EU won't get serious until standards reach EU 7
or EU 8, and those are not even being discussed for implementation until the 2030s at least.
But then good little socialists prove once again, in reality, that despite the voluminous hot air that they
emit, they don't give a damn about the people they claim to represent. Look at the East bloc and
Chinese sewers and good democratic socialism of the European Union. European cities reek of diesel
stink; they didn't used to be that way. Its the consequence of good central planning.
Meanwhile the EU leaders, take the money from their industrial leaders, delay and quibble about how to
implement poor EU 5 non "standards", and further delay EU 6 implementation.
