How do you feel about California mandating emissions standards for vehicles?
- throwawaysleep 4y agoThis is like mandating all cars be hydrogen fuel cell as a way to reduce emissions.
- dymk 4y agoCA emission standards are a waste of money and resources. WA got rid of emissions testing because almost every single car passes, and it’s actually a net increase in carbon emissions to keep the bureaucracy around. That money could be spent on carbon capture or solar subsidies instead.
- mrtranscendence 4y agoAnd why, exactly, does almost every car in WA pass emissions testing? Seems like having to reach those standards to have access to the largest single US market might have something to do with it ...
- mikestew 4y agoWA got rid of emissions testing because almost every single car passes Not anymore, they don't, now that it sounds like we all live on a Fast and the Furious set. Bring back emissions testing just to cut down on the noise, I say. Additionally, you know why every single car passed? Because it was enforced. Now that it's not enforced, you think that Honda Civic that wakes up your kids at 2:00 a. m. would pass an emissions test?
- pretendscholar 4y ago>WA got rid of emissions testing because almost every single car passes These planes keep returning with bullet holes in these areas. We should reinforce those spots!
- hot_gril 4y agoI feel good about that, but it's not the same thing.
- lacker 4y agoI don't really have any opinion about that, since I don't know much about vehicle emissions. I know a lot more about cookie warning banners, enough to say that they are dumb.
