California ban on Diesel trucks takes effect

This will be another setback in an already disastrous supply chain crisis.

The final rule in a set of regulations adopted 15 years ago takes effect this week, banning some 70,000 big rigs from California roads. A set of clean air regulations implemented by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) in 2008, and later signed into law as Senate Bill 1, states that any diesel vehicles weighing over 14,000 pounds and built before 2010 are banned from operating on California roads as of Jan. 1, 2023 [SF Gate].

An analysis from RigDig Business Intelligence found 75,951 unique VINs for 2007-2009 model year trucks with some level of activity in California over the last five years, including registrations and inspections [Overdrive].

Only the very most elite can afford this devotion to the religion of environmentalism.  Its a disaster for the rest of us humans.
