I think CARB beat the EPA to the punch. I don't think anyone objects to pollution controls.

The problem is the CARB and the EPA get drunk with power and go from improving the air to wrecking industries.

You reach a point of diminishing returns with a LOT of those regulations.

CARB outlived its usefulness a long time ago. We don't even have carbs anymore.
