emission laws are nothing more than a fundraiser for the various states...

 

Agreed. To be honest, the whole dispute over the environment has become all about stupid politicans (on both sides) who make-up stuff to get into office. The weather is based on cycles, not on how much smog our cars produce. It is partially thanks to these people that fuel is so expensive, why cars are limited on their potiential output, and why cars don't get as good fuel mileage as they could (ironic isn't it).
