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, however farmers should be exempt from diesel restrictions until the technology is capable for industrial use.
@B2DNDWQ3wks3W
Yes, as long as costs for manufacturers and consumers are not increased, and the availabiltiy of diesel vehicles is not compromised
@9ZTPDVM2mos2MO
No, but incentivise manufacturers to be more strict with their emission standards and to retire diesel vehicles.
@9ZMSSFB3mos3MO
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
@9W7FMBV4mos4MO
Emissions standards should consist of reliably getting eco-friendly energy to the public, incentivising energy and not hurting people immediately as well as giving time for energy companies to switch over to not bankrupt businesses.
@9VVZXF94mos4MO
Diesel engines may make more pollution but changing to a petrol engine is only a little step and not the overall answer.
@9SYC4SQ5mos5MO
Yes but add a bit of subsidies for consumers who can’t afford the newer and more environmentally friendly vehicles.
@9SQ56QG5mos5MO
yes, but not too much to the extent where manufacterers and consumers are suffering economically.
