My question is WHY?
Lets break this down with FACTS
.Only 28% of the total output of emissions is caused by transportation.
Only 3% of passenger vehicles sold are diesels. Add to that, nitrous oxide only makes 5% of ALL the TOTAL SUM of all emissions. Of that TOTAL SUM of all nitrous oxide, the vast majority of it is SOIL MANAGEMENT, transportation only accounts for a mere 5% of it. Stationary engines another 5%.

The EPA themselves even stated that Nitrous oxide make up a relatively small percentage of transportation emissions.

If my math is right, transportation only accounts for .05% ( to 1% if you want to include stationary engines) of the TOTAL Nitrous Oxide output.
Why ban something that's BARELY contributing to the total sum of emissions? What impact will that make? Let me help you out,
next to none. Diesels are merely a scapegoat for a political agenda.
It's the same logic as banning rifles when they make up .05% of total homides.

I know rifles are off topic but they fall in the same exact situation. Liberals/leftist wanting to ban something with no good reason why, even when logic/facts topples said reason/issue.[emoji33]:
Laughable, Diesels (and rifles) are destroying the United States, but cold hard facts refute such BASELESS claims
