<p>Trying to regulate cattle methane emissions seems funny at first. But methane's greenhouse effect is about 20 times higher than that of CO2. Methane's share of the greenhouse effect is an estimated 20%.</p> <p>[quote user="Shadow the Cats owner"]RME this is the same state that has spent Billions of dollars trying to save a 2 inch fish that until the last 3 years no one had ever even seen in the area that was deemed its habit.[/quote]</p> <p>It can sometimes be very costly to restore what humans have destroyed over the years. I have seen costs $1.6 million in three years and $2.5 million per year but not "billions". You you provide a link please?</p> <p>[quote user="Shadow the Cats owner"]The CARB board states his 1962 truck and 1977 trucks did not exsist anymore. Why because they did not have 14 digit VIN codes. [/quote]</p> <p>As far as I have read CARB regulations require 1996 to 2006 built trucks weighing more than 14,000 lbs to be either replaced or retrofitted with diesel particulate filters. It also prohibits older not retrofitted trucks from operating on public roads. There was a lawsuit at a US: District Court but was not able to find a ruling.</p> <p>I won't judge the rules. I only that it can happen in Germany too. Many cities have low-emission zone where cars with low emission standards are banned. It is not as harsh but can be to the same effect.<br />Regards, Volker</p>
