"If we banned tractors, backhoes, bulldozers, and all fossil fuel powered equipment," we'd have you in charge. Who else could come up with that bullshit?

California's Clean Construction Regulation

California Cleans Up Dirty Diesel Construction Equipment



On July 26, 2007, California became the first state in the nation to adopt a regulation to reduce diesel emissions from in-use construction equipment. Over the next 13 years, California’s new rule will require the owners of off-road equipment like bulldozers, tractors, and forklifts to reduce emissions from the diesel equipment they operate. The equipment, some of which can last 30 years or more, can be upgraded with exhaust controls, new engines, or be replaced with newer, less polluting models. Over the next 20 years, the expected emission reductions will prevent air pollution-related health impacts including premature deaths, asthma attacks, hospitalizations for heart and lung disease, bronchitis, and cancer.
