If you don't want to talk about it then please feel free to not post on the thread. It's a very simple to ignore a thread (yet some people really struggle with the concept). Also, there clearly are people who do want to talk about it and speculate about it. They have that right and I doubt many pro-Green New Deal politicians are going to change their stance or push harder for it based on a discussion on a small tractor pulling forum. This sport is a tiny fish in a giant ocean. As far as speculation is concerned, most of the internet is speculation so if speculation bothers you, you may want to discontinue use of the ole interwebs  .
To everyone/anyone on this page, please don't tell people what they should or should not talk about. If nobody wants to talk about a topic then it will get no responses, if people want to talk about a topic then people will respond. It's kind of like a capitalist system for comments and question. Don't be a socialist and tell us what's best for us to talk about. As for me... I agree with cpr, they will have their hands full with the regular channel for on and off-road diesel engines. Sure motorsports are on some of the extremists lists (pretty much anything that produces "pollution" is on their list) but I'd guess our motorsport is pretty far down. I think by the time the EPA gets to this motorsport we'll have much bigger problems to deal with. I honestly don't know if that's optimist thinking or pessimistic  . Just my $.02Jake Morgan Owner, PULLOFF.COM Independent Pulling News This page is a free service. The cost is covered out of my pocket. It takes a great deal of time and a fair amount of money to keep this website going. Donations for: photos, classified ads, forum discussion, etc... are appreciated. Side Note: We are no longer accepting PayPal donations. They have changed their terms of service and stated they would fine PayPal users for spreading "misinformation" and "hate, violence, racial or other forms of intolerance that is discriminatory". PayPal did not provide definitions for some of these vague terms. Woke corporate policies regarding "misinformation" could result in an automatic fine of $2,500 which would have been removed directly from the customer’s PayPal account. PayPal did backdown from some of their policies but quietly implemented portions of them in later terms of service. A financial institute has no right to monitor social media accounts or speech. This is unacceptable and I'll no longer do business with PayPal. |

I would basically agree on that. But - we just had a nice statement from a state jury here: ""The "simple prevention of pleasures that can only be judged subjectively" is not a legitimate aim of state action."" And, here the German, as well as the Dutch associations, have banned fossil fuel in their Diesel classes now. This is simply possible because you can buy "synthetic" Diesel now, made from waste and wind power, and many teams already used it before, as it makes more power than fossil fuel and burns cleaner. It's already used as a 10 % addition to "premium" diesel here (while the low cost diesel has 7 % RME "bio" diesel blended in). It still smokes, but that CO2 discussion is over with and it leaves the tree huggers with no arguments.
