I wonder what's going to happen to the money obtained from the imposed fines.

We now have a lot of cars polluting more than they should (even if they still pollute less than many alternatives that do live up to the regulations).
Will the fines be used to mend that?
Will they be used to develop clean energy alternatives?

I bet not.
It just flows into the deficit. And leave the biggest car maker in financial turmoil, unable to fix the problem properly by themselves for sheer lack of funds.
They probably need to axe all their green development projects just to survive this.
Hooray.

For confirmation go to people just like you.
For education go to people unlike yourself.
