So since the quarantining and stay at home bs started the air quality has gotten better. Considering the only things left on the roads are diesels in the form of semi trucks, trains, farm and construction equipment, maybe the EPA should relax on the diesel emissions. Just saying.

Since both of my vehicles are diesel, does that mean I'm helping the environment every time I go out to pick up more toilet paper and ammo?

The EPA is never going to "relax" on their own. Its too populated with the "hair on fire" enviro-nazi crowd for that to ever happen without them being forced to change due to orders from above.

Eh, Ive been looking at hybrids lately for a daily. Diesel fuel prices just arent coming down like they should be (or I thought they would).

I paid 1.87 a gallon yesterday, that's pretty cheap considering it was like 3 bucks last year. Ships also pollute a ton and they are all in anchorages. Not much shipping going on right now, it's starting to ramp back up. The pollution clearing around the world is mainly from industrial stoppage and no airline traffic though, as China brings factories back online and airlines pick up it will come right back unfortunately. This won't help out with pollution levels for long.

Obviously the EPA isn’t going to relax on emissions. I guess I thought the conversation would go a different way. The lack of smilies was my fault. But f$&k it, the EPA sees delete posts they’ll see this one too.

Current standards will never revert, but Trump has lowered the standards implemented by OHB for the future.... it’s something.

Our local news had a report about Los Angeles yesterday. First off, L.A. has had the worst air quality in the USA for the last 10 years. The report last night said we had the best air quality in the world. Yes the world. I'm calling BS on this one. :smellslike:

It's crazy around here most the stations are around 2.50 but there are a few up at 3.30 and a couple down under 2.00. I paid 1.88 on Monday.
