Roll that coal!
Seriously... worry more about the coal industry than some bullshit consumer stuff.
In principle we shouldn't worry so much about individual consumer actions, but...
By 2020, the most recent numbers available, the E.P.A. estimated that the emissions controls had been removed from more than 550,000 diesel pickup trucks over the prior decade, or roughly 15 percent of all diesel trucks originally certified with those controls.
This seems to have become an commercial industry at scale, so is a genuine problem.
This shit is dumb as fuck, but it ain't worth losing your sleep over or blowing political capital. It's just going to piss off more morons while making a near trivial effect on your environment.
I know they are jackasses but you are not helping by relentlessly following this.
