EPA regulations "GONE"???

@BULL 1969 standards would have our Catalytic converters in the recycle bin for precious mineral redemption. Leaving a PVC as the only Emission, along with Charcoal canister for vapor recovery. Maybe an air pump on certain engines.

Screw it let’s go back to the 50s pre PVC system in trade for Road draft tubes, we ain’t going to need the Catch Can anymore without positive pressure in the case.

Yep the awakened to find out tiz dust a wet dream.

Two AFB’s are going on the Hellcat tomorrow!

Two Carter AFB’s perched on top of an IHI blower feeding a Gen 3 426 stoker !!!

Hmmmmm. 🤔 ahhh yes I would test pilot that NP.

Gotta wonder what's going to happen. Saw a few people got snagged for tuning diesels. All that's gone away now? Cafe standards worthless? Cats aren't needed?

There was a great post in one of the forums a while ago where someone enumerated the emissions from all the gas and diesel vehicles globally. Then it showed the emissions from cargo ships which burn straight crude. The math came to I think just 2 cargo ships create more emissions than from all the other vehicles in the world combined... and there's over 30k active cargo ships.
The point being that all this emissions stuff for cars, trucks, and diesels is just a drop in the bucket--never made an actual difference--it was all just for politics, votes, and for money to change hands.

Never saw that post...but being the sceptic that I am..I would first question the validity of the data..it would seem to me...gathering all that data.(with any degree of certainty)...would be a very difficult task..and to determine the varying amounts of emissions produced by every vehicle on the planet...I don't quite buy it

The actual information about what might change is on EPA's website.

Unfortunately it's nowhere near what the You Tubers (and many others) are claiming.

Didn't think so...but what do I know.....and I'm too fuckin lazy to look it up..

My numbers from memory were slightly off, but the point still stands--it's numerically overwhelming:
* 2 bulk container ships produce more emissions than all the cars, trucks, planes, and trains in the US combined
* 10 bulk container ships produce as much as all the rest of the gas ICE emissions globally.
* there's over 70k of these ships, 20-30k are of the largest bulk type
* eliminating vehicle emissions from every car, truck, plane, and train on the planet would affect global emissions by less than 1/100th of a percent

Global emissions..be they transportation related ...industrial manufacturing related..other factions of society that contribute to perceived environmental contamination aren't really the international concern it would take to make an appreciable difference to the global environment...yet politically here..(especially as it relates to the automotive segment)...it's become a big deal

you would never take your cats off and build a fast car so it doesn't really matter

If you follow the thread from the second post I linked there's a follow up by the author that talks about volcanoes--which entirely obliterate the math on any human contribution to global climate from emissions...

I hate volcanos.
