The only problem with "politics" is it is easy to ignore the engineering, the physics and math, behind the technology . . . nature's law. But the USA is tolerant of experiments.
A couple of years ago, we read about an old, VW Rabbit that had a Jetta TDI engine transplant. A little pricy (OK, labor was free) and they walked away from nearly 30 years of safety engineering. Still it was an interesting experiment.
What I'm trying to suggest is Ecomodder is about the freedom to experiment and try some of the EU solutions. See how well they work in practice in the USA based upon nature's laws and share the results. There are reasons, "9 pages," of nature's laws that go quite beyond politics suggesting the EU solutions may not be optimal.
