Fuck SUVs in particular.
From the streetcar conspiracy to this. GM sure has an illustrious history.
And thanks to the overturning of Chevron, the EPA is unable to do anything.
“Oh, you lied and fucked up? If you pay us some money, we’ll look the other way 😉”
People shit on CA smog tests but if every state had them, this wouldn’t be as much of an issue and the states would generate more revenue.
Quite honestly, which auto company hasn’t cheated emissions testing?
How do you emit excess CO2? Like I can imagine if it isn’t burning clean and shitting out CO or particulates or something, but wouldn’t “excess CO2” just mean they’re just inefficient?
Do they not meet their mileage ratings?
They had standard to meet that a vehicle of a certain weight/class must not exceed certain amount of emissions. They made vehicles that didn’t meet that standard, shrugged and put them to market anyway because they knew the profits would outweigh any “punishment” fron the spineless regulatory bodies.
The whoe CAFE standards and the shift in car sizes associated with them should be enough evidence to prove the EPA has failed and become disconnected from its true purposes
Yeah I get that. I think it’s just odd to phrase it as emitting too much CO2, and not getting poor mileage.
