The U.S power industry alone is the fifth largest climate polluter in the world - behind China, the entire U.S., India, and Russia. To abandon regulation of this industry is irresponsible and deeply concerning.

The proposed changes allow manufacturers to buy their way out of regulatory compliance, grant excess manufacturing credits, reduce the required useful life of emissions controls devices, and allow trucks with faulty emission controls to remain on the road for longer.
