Subject | Re: PM Filter regulations |
Comment | I purchased a 2009 truck with a filter. It has financially burdened me with breakdowns about every other month since I purchased it back in January. It is absurd that my old truck had to be removed and replaced from my fleet "because of particulate matter". Most of the pollutants come from the FOOD (read cows). According to the UNITED NATIONS, "cattle-rearing generates more global warming greenhouse gases, as measured in CO2 equivalent, than transportation." So why does our great state of broke California keep pushing for these regulations? We already have one of the SLOWEST economies in the country, (thanks to our democratic/liberal agenda of caring for everyone and paying for it as well) and with this drought that seems to have no end in the near future it is only going to get worse. Our legislature already royally "messed" up our trucking industry as it is, give the ones who haven't taken the plunge a break. And let small businesses grow by allowing older models to get a bigger fleet. I hope someone reads this, as I have made excellent points and given what I think are great suggestions. |
