Interesting that my comment was deleted. Hmm, I didn't come off as a greenie or show myself to be an ignorant anti-greenie. ...apparently that's totally unacceptable.
Also going to be enforced harder. Alberta gov is buying more equipment to check diesels.
I know of one guy who put a lot of money back into his truck to hook the emissions stuff back up.

damb... what did you say?
yup their trying very hard to kill the diesel market... meaning except for guys who tow it no longer pays to have a diesel 3/4 ton for the average joe who doesn't use the truck for work... no reason diesel should be more expensive and hooking up all the emmissions stuff just drops your fuel milage... i don't get how that's good for the environment... with todays technology take emmissions out and you have one great power plant with good mileage... IMOP
I know a guy who work for cummins that has said all their R & D is going into LNG not trying to build a diesel motor that runs great with great emmission that boat has sailed... thank California
you can't roll coal on new diesels if all the emission controls are in place....
Ever notice how everyone wants to outlaw things that other people enjoy doing, things like snowmobiling in the wilderness, or atvs that might leave ruts. Yet we bulldoze millions of acres of forest a year around the world to feed the city rats that try to outlaw these activities we enjoy and yet don't understand the environmental impact that their own existence has on this planet. Governments work so hard to limit the small amounts of pollution we emit from diesel trucks yet this can all be undone by a forest fire started from a cigarette butt, seems really counterproductive to spend thousands of dollars per diesel vehicle in emissions equipment to stop a few grams of carbon from entering the atmosphere. Don't get me wrong I don't approve of blowing black smoke everywhere either, but we are getting to the point where we are legislating all of our freedoms away.
This article has no credibility at all... GM doesn't even make a Silverado!
