Hot on the heels of the extraordinarily short-sighted ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court on what powers the EPA has to regulate, we've got a follow up story involving emissions and GM.

Not only has GM just been found guilty of overstating its fuel economy and understating its vehicles tailpipe emissions, but the fines for doing so... aren't all that large.

Let's dig in, and ask what we can do about it moving forward.

00:00 - Introduction 02:18 - The EPA and NHTSA's rules are important 03:49 - What happened 04:59 - Why? - And How common is the Problem? 05:46 - GM's Fines 06:15 - "Permission To Pollute" 07:06 - Credits have benefited Tesla and other Ev companies, but... 07:41 - GM earns credits for EVs 08:32 - Does buying Legacy Automaker Evs support this? 09:15 - Even EV-only brands help perpetuate pollution through selling credits 09:49 - The fines are laughable 11:32 - Current regulations don't work 13:43 - Rulemaking allows for vagueness 14:19 - How We Fix This 15:40 - Thanks, and Goodbye!
