You read that right: in a world where cold weather prevents EVs from charging, water exposure leads to spontaneous combustion, and inefficient technology leaves people stranded, comrades in the bureaucracy want to force the entire diesel trucking industry to comply with the Green agenda measures. For reference, a trucking industry website stated that there are “more than 15 million commercial vehicles” in the U.S., and “76% are powered by diesel engines.” Simple math would therefore show that the EPA set its sights on 11,400,000 commercial trucking vehicles that make our world go round.
An overwhelming majority of us are utterly dependent upon truckers and their diesel engines; they are the lifeblood of our First World (although rapidly deteriorating) economy… and the big government elites know this.
Forced compliance with the latest “regulations” from the EPA would see the entire fleet of the trucking industry switch to electric, and with that, the government would have unfettered control. Just take a look at what’s going on in Germany — from an article yesterday:
A government agency in Germany announced plans to remotely limit home heating and charging of electric cars…
It's not just trucking - anyone wonder why FOX News has the most viewers and NOT ONE CAR COMPANY will advertise with them..
Call when they launch that solar powered aircraft carrier. Why yes Virginia, these people ARE total fidiots! 😵
Have the deep state and MIC considered how exactly they will be able to engage in war with Russia and China - all while they cause rising inflation, create massive government debt, make Americans poorer and hobble our power supply?
It doesn’t seem well thought-out.
And we’re supposed to believe America voted for this in 2020 and again just last month.
And now IF the powers that be could only disarm all Americans they could realize their utopia by force. Amazing how many who are ignorant of history are all for disarming anyone who would dare disagree with the powers that be. And they LAUGHED at the people who warned that this would be the agenda for this administration. As is said...”those who laugh last didn’t get the joke”. Fjb IS the joke but when will his followers get the joke? Most probably when it’s far too late.
The EPA is not living in the real world
I don’t believe that the EPA Charter allows them to determine how vehicles are powered, either directly, or by default, in this case. Something of this magnitude needs to go through Congress.
Time for a lawsuit.
I have a solution for fixing global warming. Bring back leaded gasoline. If I remember correctly, leaded gasoline was the leading cause of global cooling. They got rid of it now it’s global warming. Seems like the balance it to bring back leaded gasoline, but producing it in a cleaner manner.
Goods can just sit while they perfect electric trucks , it may take decades ,LOL
if there was no climate crisis
this would be stupid
there is no climate crisis
How much do the batteries required to power a semi weigh? How much room are they going to take up? How much less freight are truckers going to be able to haul to not exceed weight limits?
This is just flat out insane, not only the logistical issues of charging, but everything else that comes into play? “Our” government wants us to starve to death, among other things.
Snow go for NYC’s electric garbage trucks that can’t handle winter weather

EXCERPT:
The department aims to switch all 6,000 vehicles in its fleet from gas to electric as part of the state’s goal to reduce emissions by 2040. But city officials say they haven’t found electric garbage trucks that are powerful enough to plow snow.
The department has ordered seven electric rear loader garbage trucks, custom-made by Mack and costing more than $523,000 each, with delivery slated for the spring. Used for curbside trash collection, the department’s current rear loader truck fleet runs on diesel and is outfitted with plows to clear streets during snow season.
But officials say previous electric trucks tested by sanitation have not lasted longer than four hours plowing snow before running out of power, and the new electric trucks will be used for trash collection but not plowing snow.
Simple solution is to put gasoline generators on semi trucks.
They’re called watermelons. Green on the outside and red on the inside.
Read an earlier article about the electric garbage trucks in NY that won’t start in very cold temps. Even when they can start them, they don’t have enough power to push a blade to clear the streets of snow.
The next semi-conservative administration needs to eliminate the EPA, along with other depts. run by radical bureaucrats.
