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.

The government should remove existing emissions standards and crash safety standards so that new vehicles can be purchased for sub 10k, and provide economic opportunity and freedom of movement for a lower price
@B35Q7K52mos2MO
Gov't should reward companies/owner-operators for making more eco-friendly choices to encourage demand for options that are better for environment
@B2R65343mos3MO
Yes because diesel engines emit high levels of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter, which contribute to smog and respiratory illnesses.
@B2CMT6Q 3mos3MO
Yes, while diesel is more fuel efficient than gasoline it produces more carbon dioxide emissions than gasoline does.
@B4LKMK22wks2W
Absolutely NOT! Diesel is cleaner burning and fuel efficient than gas. Money could be spend on making these fuel powered engines more environmentally friendly as they are more efficient. Imposing emission standards would likely come in the form of a tax which historically has not done anything to fix the environment or emissions. If this were to happen these extra costs would be passed down to the consumer as all transport trucks run on diesel
@B4FHWKS3wks3W
It's really got to be nuanced. It makes sense again in cities, but in the country for farmers tractors that are older, but they can't afford new ones the standards have to be flexible.

climate change is a joke and implementing more harsher policies will only be more costly for not only citizens but these policies are expensive to put into place
