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.

No, because diesel engines are already heavily regulated, emissions equipment has a dramatic negative effect on reliability, and emissions equipment dramatically reduces fuel efficiency. Further restricting diesel emissions may hurt fuel economy enough that overall emissions are increased.
@9X39MQ86mos6MO
No, however there should be more of an incentive to encourage those who are currently using more wasteful vehicles to switch to more enviormentally friendly alternitives.
@9VXZ89W7mos7MO
No, the government should keep their noses out of the people's vehicles. The EPA should be disbanded.
@9ZGSRWK6mos6MO
The government shouldn't restrict certain diesel engines, but there should be a standard baseline for the harsh emissions.
@9WZ448Z6mos6MO
yes but i understand the opponents argument and maybe we should see if we could find a way to reduce cost
@9S2PDWW9mos9MO
The federal government cannot and should not implement On emission producing vehicles. It is mostly because these vehicles are the most easily accessible and most reliable for people who cannot afford other means of more energy, efficient transportation, or not wish to use the public transportation system. The federal government should find a way to combat the emissions from diesel vehicles, but they should not ban them out right, they could also reduce the presence of these vehicles in cities by imposing attacks upon vehicles in cities, but not upon vehicles in the suburbs or the country
@9RMB9T610mos10MO
while the process of mining and refining diesel is not the best for the environment, in the long run, diesel fuel burns cleaner and gasoline, and is better for the environment than mining oil from our soil
@B564BDV1wk1W
Yes, but it should be a gradual process, allowing manufacturers to implement new technology at an affordable cost.
