Should the government implement stricter emissions standards for diesel vehicles?

Diesel emissions standards regulate the amount of pollutants that diesel engines can emit to reduce air pollution. Proponents argue that stricter standards improve air quality and public health by reducing harmful emissions. Opponents argue that it increases costs for manufacturers and consumers and could reduce the availability of diesel vehicles.

Essential equipment and services like farming and heavy transportation should be exempt. Personal diesels should have Stricker standards.

Yes, as long it doesn't negitively impact the consumer

No. The emissions parts on pickup trucks are rushed technology and the parts are STILL breaking down 12 years later at enormous cost to consumers. Reduce the standards until reliable tech is developed.
