>Today, U.S. District Court Judge Mark A. Goldsmith for the Eastern District of Michigan accepted Hino Motors, Ltd.’s guilty plea to a one-count criminal information charging it with having engaged in a multi-year criminal conspiracy to defraud both the U.S. government and American consumers and illicitly smuggle goods into the country. Judge Goldsmith also sentenced Hino, a Toyota subsidiary, to pay a criminal fine of $521.76 million, serve a five-year term of probation — during which it is prohibited from importing any diesel engines it has manufactured into the United States — and implement a comprehensive compliance and ethics program and reporting structure. The court also entered a $1.087 billion forfeiture money judgment against the company.

One of my places shows that I am in the high usage for electricity category, and I keep getting notices that I need to find ways to cut my energy usage.
The same letter compares me to my neighbors showing that I use 25-30% of what my neighbors use on average (partial use house).
Now if I'm using worse case 30% of what my neighbors use, but I am in the excessive category, sure sounds like they are setting unrealistic and unachievable standards.
The diesel and gasoline emissions laws are just like that. Unrealistic and pretty much unachievable. Ditch the EPA , they did clean up the air, now they are just looking for reasons to survive and harm consumers (read power grab) instead of maintaining.
