New EPA rules

[jmartin]

I saw nothing in the EPA announcements indicating diesel emissions standards are somehow revoked. They are "reconsidering" a number of items, including the planned FUTURE 2027 standards that sounded quite restrictive, and something about 2022 rules. With the wide ranging scope of things under consideration, there is a possibility that this could lead to significantly gutting the standards, but none of that has happened as of now. Seems the youtubers are jumping the gun and hyping this news for views.

Personally I hope they end up gutting diesel emissions tyranny at scale, at the very least do it for off highway (ag and construction). No good reason new tractors couldn't go back to Tier 2 or even 3, could significantly lower initial purchase price and maintenance costs. My two cents anyway.
