CO2 doesn’t turn the air brown either. You’re angrily replying to an argument that nobody here is making, again.

Hell, most of the planet had that scent of earth, smoke, and dung - even today in some spots.

No. This post is about removing the EPA’s endangerment finding for GHGs releasing USA from onerous restrictions notably regarding CO2. I’m simply reminding people.
Did we ever define efficient propulsion?
Cheap fuel
Less fuel used
Less pollution
Less storage space
Longer life
Cheaper capital cost
Cheaper operating cost
?
I didn’t, but did I need to? At least USA is eliminating an arbitary, unscientific government-imposed restriction on commerce and that can never be bad.
Efficiency is in the eye of the one who pays generally boiled down to maximising outputs compared to inputs.
The rest will be up to businesses to respond accordingly.
Business is responding to the need to reduce greenhouse gases, CO2 being the major member of that club is the target of that response.
What have you got against business?
Opinion divided on that tiny part of the atmosphere gas make up.
What if we humans are just lucky for the very short time we have been on the planet lots of carbon was sequestered which has caused the large deserts etc.
For much of the planets life it was hotter and there was more co2, hence huge greening feeding dinosaurs.
Now the planet is perhaps just doing one of its cycles to warm up assuming it is warming up?
Yes. Because they are compelled to reduce GHGs. It’s the compulsion that’s the problem. That compulsion is now reduced because the Trump administration has removed an EPA endangerment finding restriction which was never legislated in the first place. I should be able to hear you cheering from here.
CO2 is NOT the major GHG. That’s water vapour. Look it up. It makes up 90% of GHGs but the eco-loons haven’t devised a way to demonise it and ban it.
Nothing. Business is what pays everyone in one way or another. Normally USA is good at business.
What have you got against business concentrating on efficient business and not getting constantly and needlessly shafted by eco-zealots in government?
The French wine industry opinion is worth considering.
Efficient use of fuels to achieve transportation goals increases efficiency of the entire supply chain as well as the economic health of the links in that chain.
Using less fuel to achieve the same or more productivity also impacts other components of the planet and the people who inhabit it. It really is that simple.
Yes thanks to the EPA we all use a bit less fuel and pollute far less for road transport.
If we get to wide spread use of synthetic fuel it will he a huge jump forward.
The Eu wine industry is hopelessly inefficient and subsidised.
It was designed as a local service, quality and low volume.
USA vineyards taking a hit as Americans are drinking far less wine
Hows a Mexicans co2 foot print in the USA, far larger than in Mexico so Trump is helping with climate change, who’d of thought.

Not sure the massive increase in megayachts is helping the green agenda
It has had a wonderful impact on my green agenda.

There are some people that has other ideas about what is important in life:

It prompted me to invent , patent, and manufacture a diesel emissions system used on megayachts. It funds further development of systems suitable and affordable for smaller vessels and provides high paying work for skilled welders and technicians.

Great news, well done.
yup, everyone criticises the free world about polluting but what about china, africa, SE asia, siberia? where everyone is fighting for their next meal, where do you think “saving the planet” rates with China’s Z? get a grip. businesses will do what they can but not at the cost of losing shareholders, business or revenue.
Pls. define “free world”. What is the definition of “free”?
Who decides which countries. or which part of the world is “free”?
Are you sure EVERYBODY in Chins, Africa, S.E. Asia and Siberia is “fighting for their next meal” these days?
This graph also represents the rise and fall of industrialization , oddly enough.
