I don’t know what the problem is here. This isn’t just any old smog; it’s made-in-Vermont smog! Doesn’t that mean it’s good? I thought that to airy-fairy greeny weeny types, “made in Vermont” means wonderful.

...labels with smog and global warming ratings.....

Well that just makes me want to run out and buy 3 cars tomorrow.

Is it any wonder our nation is in the terrible shape it is in? Have our politicians got nothing better to do than to waste time on crap like this?
To hell with all of them!

Sounds like a real dumbass idea to me but there’s a lot of that going around these days.

Can’t they also require labels that measure the car in terms of the percentage of hope it contains and the percentage of change it has?

I heard some fool/tool yesterday at my watering hole spinning out the same old drivel about how car companies have sequestered the technology that would allow them to install carbuerators that would deliver 85 - 90 mpg - gee, d’ya think that one company might not have already jumped at that to corner the market? Naw, never occurred to ya, did it, idjit.

Vermont is the first New England state - and will be one of at least 13 states across the country - to adopt a new regulation-- requiring new cars to be sold with an environmental performance label.

Projects like this create jobs for people making the labels.

Your basic "make work" program.
