Talk about some left wing conspiracy crap.
The issue is, as was previously stated, the numbers of people modifying their cars are tiny, and the EPA can't just say "we cleaned sup the air, good job boys", they're going after more and more unrealistic targets to justify their continued existence (and push a financially beneficial to some agenda of EVs).
This isn't about air pollution. If it was, as I said before, we would be looking at ways to actually make a sizeable impact, like putting tariffs on goods from countries that thrive by not following the incredibly strict rules we have.
The number of catless cars on the road is probably in the 10s of thousands nationwide. There's some 280M cars and trucks on the road in the US. Going after that tiny percentage of people isn't going to make ANY difference in pollution. But since they're small, and government is big, they're an easy target. Far easier than forcing airlines to be clean. Far easier than forcing trans oceanic shipping to be clean. Far easier than forcing 3rd world countries to be clean.
