On Tuesday, December 20, crazed EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan announced the final national clean air standards to cut smog- and soot-forming emissions from heavy-duty trucks.
The new standards will slash dangerous pollution from semi-trucks.
The EPA insists the new rules will protect public health, especially the health of vulnerable populations in underserved, overburdened communities.
This is pure leftist insanity and will force underserved, overburdened communities to pay more for their food and consumer goods.
These people are dangerous and insane.
The Daily Caller reported:
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized a rule Tuesday that will impose stricter nitrogen dioxide emissions standards on new heavy-duty trucks, a move that will substantially hike operating costs for truckers, experts and industry representatives told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
The EPA’s rule, which is more than 80% stricter than the previous regulation, will require large trucks, delivery vans and buses manufactured after 2027 to cut nitrogen dioxide emissions by nearly 50% by 2045, according to an agency press release. The agency’s rule is intended to push truckers to phase out diesel-powered vehicles and use electric vehicles (EV) instead; however, the compliance costs associated with such rules could suffocate an industry that is not ready to transition to EVs, experts told the DCNF.
“It’s an overreach that is indicative of this administration’s tendency to set aside balance to achieve the goals of activists that they are politically aligned with,” Mandy Gunasekara, a senior policy analyst for the Independent Women’s Forum and former EPA Chief of Staff during the Trump administration, told the DCNF. “It’s going to squeeze out the mid-sized and smaller trucking companies because they’re not going to be able to afford to purchase the new, extremely expensive equipment required to continue to do what they do.”
How sweet. They’re wishing us a Happy New Year. It’s like they’re saying, “Just for you, bigger doses of inflation, slave wages, manipulations, earth surveillance, incarcerations, and all manner of desperations. Why not come and dutifully add your name to our list of ‘Died Suddenly?'”
On one current circumstance… Door sign reads:
“WE ARE SHORT STAFFED TODAY. PLEASE BE PATIENT. IF YOU RUN OUT OF PATIENCE, PLEASE ASK FOR AN APPLICATION.”
So many little theaters of life showing the demise of existence. Just when you think they can’t make it any darker it gets darker still. I guess it has to really go dark before it goes light. Light ’em up!!

Addendum: “WHO WILL EVER SUSPECT THAN THAT ALL THESE PEOPLES WERE STAGE-MANAGED BY US ACCORDING TO A POLITICAL PLAN WHICH NO ONE HAS SO MUCH AS GUESSED AT IN MANY CENTURIES?”

But today, the guessing accelerated beyond measure and actually moved from guessing to KNOWING!!

Yep
“Today, you and I need to know that the tyranny of Sustainable Development is not inevitable. It can and it will be stopped. Ignore your nay-saying neighbor – the sunshine patriot. The one who only gets into the battle when it is already won – when it’s become fashionable. The one who laughed at you for fighting when there seemed to be no hope. They will not help you win. They will only gladly demand their share of the spoils afterwards. Now, today, dedicate yourself to the fight – regardless of what others say or think. Understand that the perpetrators of the radical environmental movement are not protectors of the planet, they are destroyers of human society. We are fighting for our right to exist!”
