Well put, RustyLugNut.
A few years ago I went to a training class in a certain factory in a certain southern state. The class was about the latest Diesel emission reduction technology - EGR, SCR, DPFs, etc., all of which I think is a good step to clean up stinky, disgusting diesels. The entire class could be summed up with a "we wouldn't have to do all this if it wasn't for stupid old California." It struck a real nerve with me as I learned how ignorant these people actually are.
Many find it easy to look outside in the middle of their prairie (or even a nice clean west coast city like where I live) and think pollution control is pointless and a waste of money, and I do not understand it.
Many still hang on the the early-70s mentality that if there is an emission control we must tear if off, and I do not understand it.
