What would happen if the USA scrapped their Federal Fleet Emissions Standards? Would California's emissions standards basically take over?

California's standards already control the market.
Since there are 38 million people in that state. They have to make everything comply with them.
I think emissions should be done more like europe.
you get taxed based on what your car emits. If you don't want to pay so much fucking tax. you get a car that emits less.

Then why bother with the Federal Fleet Emission standards? They just force the cost of dealing with emissions requirements on all cars made by the manufacturer instead of just specific requirements.

>What would happen
The U.S. economy would skyrocket like the 1950's and beautiful cars would return.

NOOOOOOOO! QUICK HERSCHEL MORE TAXES MORE RESTRICTIONS
>>16274513
why do people hate emission restrictions so much,? they obviously help air quality
actually no, if everybody got actually serious about emission restrictions, we would stop freighters and other ships from burning fucking bunker oil out at sea, that shit is toxic
>>16274614
Because the EPA has single handedly killed modern diesels. Fuck them
>>16274651
Then how can I go to the car dealer down the road and buy one.

yeh, like the london fog of 1952 that killed about 4k people, because smog was so bad, which lead to the restrictions we have today.

and if car companies wanted to actually sell diesels they can put on a urea injection system so go fuck yourself
