I am asking for a delay in the implementation of the Advanced Clean Truck (ACT) rules that will lead to the ban of heavy-duty diesel vehicles in Oregon. This includes RVs, heavy-duty pick up trucks like Ford F-250 and -350, and semi-trucks.

Since this post is getting shared, more information:
In November 2021, Oregon’s Environmental Quality Commission adopted the Clean Truck Rules, following the footsteps of California’s rules that limit the kinds of vehicles Oregonians can purchase.
The rules requires medium- and heavy-duty vehicle manufacturers to sell zero-emission vehicles as a certain percentage of new vehicle sales, beginning with the 2025 model year. Manufacturers must
increase their zero-emission new truck sales in Oregon year-over year based on the truck’s size, starting at 8,500 lbs. gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR). Also described as Class 2b-8. Note graphs.
In layman's terms - between 7-11% of all new diesel vehicle sales (think your F-250 and F-350, RV's and semi trucks) beginning in January 2025 - yep, right around the corner, need to be EV. One, the technology doesn't exist, and two, infrastructure isn't built, three, the general public doesn't want these, and four, if/when they do exist they are very expensive.
What's being done? Manufacturers and industry organizations across multiple states (Oregon, New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, Colorado, Washington, maybe more?) are trying to figure out how to get these rules delayed including trying to work with @GovTinaKotek and the other state Governor's to get them to understand these rules simply aren't attainable or reasonable.
What can you do? As I learn more, I'll put more information out. Right now, I've started a petition you can share and sign. https://t.co/TUehUVOIYM

I rarely (if ever) specifically ask people to share one of my videos but sunshine is a great disinfectant. Let’s make these 3 scam call centers famous. They make an estimated $18M a year scamming people of their life savings. As of vid release they were still up and running.
Millions of Americans have been choking back their thoughts and opinions on this platform for YEARS out of fear of being suspended/canceled. I have a feeling the dam is about to break... #BringItOn#BeHeard
