(1) In March 2010, a senior Daimler Truck executive estimated that EPA’s emission standards during the previous six years increased the sticker price of a big rig by $20,000. Ouch! That’s a substantial chunk of changes truckers don’t have to spend on vehicles with better fuel economy. (2) In March 2007, the exec of another large diesel manufacturer told the Wall Street Journal that EPA’s diesel emission standards reduce heavy truck fuel economy by about one mile per gallon (roughly by 10%, since 18-wheelers get only 9-10 mpg). The fuel economy penalty costs his firm about $10 million per year in increased fuel purchases. Verily, the evidence doth mount.

The basis of all sin is the desire to dominate, and it’s carried out through power. Power mongers need to be dominating. Domination requires fraud and degradation. You can’t dominate through rationality, truth and justice. So power mongers play “Captain May I” with the lessers. May I do this? No do that. It won’t end until the moral standards improve for power mongers. You can guess when that will be.
