Diesel emissions standards regulate the amount of pollutants that diesel engines can emit to reduce air pollution. Proponents argue that stricter standards improve air quality and public health by reducing harmful emissions. Opponents argue that it increases costs for manufacturers and consumers and could reduce the availability of diesel vehicles.

Yes, but the government needs to provide funding to transport companies and sole traders to assist with emission reductions
@B39866F2mos2MO
NO, they shouldn't instead add more PT PL RH adding 5-10 percent more and cat converters must be made from a titanium alloy from the muffler to 10cm past the cat and the government help pay 30-43% to moddfiy them and adding more PT PL RH metals to the cats
@B34HX872mos2MO
Until transportation methods improve, restrictions on diesel could hurt movement of goods. A stop gap measure could be a tax or incentive to use, or not use diesel for transportation, respectively.
@B2V8WS2 2mos2MO
Not without first taxing big industry such as aviation & mining but allowing businesses under a certain number to be free from this to prevent hurting small time trucking companies, farmers etc
@B2L4B6H3mos3MO
Yes, however farmers should be exempt from diesel restrictions until the technology is capable for industrial use.
@B2DNDWQ3mos3MO
Yes, as long as costs for manufacturers and consumers are not increased, and the availabiltiy of diesel vehicles is not compromised
@9ZTPDVM5mos5MO
No, but incentivise manufacturers to be more strict with their emission standards and to retire diesel vehicles.
@9ZMSSFB5mos5MO
Given the fact China, India and Russia provide more carbon emissions than the rest of the world combined, any restrictions we put on ourselves feels largely ceremonial and pointless
