The Obama campaign in 2008 encouraged donations ending in .02 so you could also "give him your two cents".

It's baffling in its own way, but a searing indictment of the level of rational thinking demonstrated by the radical right.

Honestly I don't know why people don't talk more about the isotopes produced from fossil fuels (coal in particular), nuclear still seems to scare the poo poo out of most people, and coal pumps out a bunch of nuclear poo poo into the air. Focusing on CO2 seems to be picking the wrong part to focus on.

The EPA confirmed that the modifications required to 'roll coal' are illegal, and that you can report license plate numbers if you see people doing it.

You know these guys who are modding their trucks like this probably really love to bring up the talking point about how low the price of gas was when Obama took office (because the economy had completely tanked in the preceding months and brought down demand) compared to now.

Also, people not well-learned in the sciences seem to not understand the concepts like concentration and mobility. poo poo, today, I spent almost an hour talking about the difference between vinyl chloride and polyvinyl chloride to a colleague. Not to mention pseudoscience fuckwits like Natural News. Yeah just write down their plates then report them. Don't be assholes that's just what they want so they can go back to their buddies, drink keystone light, and talk about how badly they pissed off those liberals.

Communist Zombie posted:Im sorry to interrupt this happy hour but I thought id share the new way some republicans are throwing it in the face of Obummer. Here's the funny thing: the EPA is already all over this but they are playing it BLM vs Cliven Bundy long game style. There is no nationwide inspection program and if the EPA were to make it a priority to really crack down on it there is a large subgroup of people that would go do it just to stick it to the EPA. Instead the EPA is letting normal attrition take care of the problem because vehicles don't last forever and running a smoke tune is absolutely brutal on an engine. After they have ruined their current engine the jerks will go onto the market and find that all new trucks are equipped with a diesel particulate filter (DPF). And they will find that while the EPA was ignoring their smoke tuner they are cracking down hard on any company offering services or products which may be used to remove a DPF. Running a smoke tune with a DPF in place doesn't give them the effect they want. It instead looks more like you blew a head gasket while at the same time ruining/clogging the DPF in a matter of seconds. Oh and the DPF failing/clogging will cause the engine controller to go into limp mode giving you zero power until you go spend ~$3k for the replacement DPF which the OEM absolutely won't cover under warranty (they actually will void the entire powertrain and emissions warranty if they so much as suspect you've gotten a tuner anywhere near the truck). Finally the favorite loophole of the modified truck crowd is gone: non-road diesels are required to have the DPFs too. On the other hand the new diesels with the DPFs are much more powerful than the old ones ever were so hopefully soon smoke from the engine won't be seen as a sign of a powerful diesel but instead more along the lines of "whoa your truck has a serious problem, you might want to get that looked at".

Exactly. Last I heard the EPA went after one of the major makers of tuner kits which could be used for DPF deletion, confiscated their inventory, fined them to hell and back, and were working their way down the customer list demanding VIN numbers and proof that the kits were not installed on DPF equipped vehicles. Every other reputable tuner manufacturer has since stopped making such kits.
