Theres more ships now than during WW2.I think I read where there are over 100,000 heavy ships on the ocean now.Population has gone way up since the 1940s.Also shipping companies are doing real well while we are having a depression. Also we had steam locomotives all over the world back then.I remember when I was a kid that everybody burned coal.In the winter everywhere you looked there was smoke coming out of chimneys.I also remember being in Los Angeles in 1977 and they had a smog alert. I think we have cleaned the air up a lot since WW2.Plus it didnt take a fuel tax on farmers to do it. This new fuel is even cleaner than low sulphur,ULSD,and it hurts fuel mileage so trucks burn more of it.With everything you do there comes a point when you have gone too far.Clearly the government has gone too far when they send tax collectors out to farms over taxed or untaxed fuel. Taxing farmers for running farm equipment on the highway is stupid.Its way overkill,for some stupid crap law that should have never been started to begin with. Besides that since we cleaned up the air on land,they need to make those ships clean up their act.If ships cause 40% of the pollutio9n on land now,then they need to fix that and leave farmers and truckers alone.
