So the EPA is going attempting to fine VW more than my TDI cost new for each vehicle, plus ridiculous amounts for each day and other items. Yet, massive plants and industries, including airlines, emit ridiculous amounts of NOx and are regularly grandfathered in their pollution.
How about we get some figures from the EPA so we can point see whether their interests are on behalf of the public or more political in nature...
