I'm more familiar with the automotive sector, but this is pretty huge. The Clean Air Act only said that the EPA should limit emissions. The standardized drive cycles and testing procedure were all determined by the EPA themselves. What happens now if an automaker challenges these procedures? The EPA loses authority to create the test procedures, and the automakers can just give them numbers and say "trust us"

I can't imagine that Congress could competently create laws for vehicle test procedures themselves. I imagine we'll just default to California testing requirements for a lot of cars, but I don't imagine it's going to play out well as a whole

Kind of surprised by this one. I don't think anyone was terribly impressed with the first season.

Having to go to a meeting really messes with your flow for the whole day, doesn't it? in c/adhd@lemmy.world
