Greenhouse gas emissions would be impossible to reduce if you're going after car parts, tires etc. A more logical and effective way is to reduce engine and car sizes in the future. Having large electric cars would not help. The Gov. has his head up his ass and thinks his fart does not contribute to greenhouse gas.

It's just the govt. trying to interfere on our fun again. Besides, if they really wanted to put a lid on greenhouse gases, they'd do something about the gases that come out of factory smokestacks. IMO they're responsible for at least half of global warming, if not more

My money says that the Governor is getting campaign contributions from some Dealers who don't like to see aftermarket stuff taking away "their" market. Gene |

Agreed, and this just creates a black market for the parts.
The cops there would then be looking at the tires?? Crazy!

If you mean by that, why do I think that way? This kind of approach is, to use the Corporate vernacular, going after the "high hanging fruit". If you're going to curb "green house gases" then enforcing speed limits would probably do a better job of automobile efficiency than this blanket ban.
So we're left with the unfortunate conclusion that the Governor of Oregon probably has ulterior motives, or they're grandstanding. Gene |

If that is the attitude, then they should immediately ban all motor-boats, whether putt-putts or Formula boats, all snowmobiles and all "racing" quads. THEN they should ban Campers, and force everyone to drive to a campground in a Yaris and use a tent.
In other words - what a waste of everyone's time! |
