I mean, the real answer is to just tell California to resume their old smog exemption law for cars more than 30 years old, which they stopped in 2004 (thus making the cutoff year 1974).
As a Californian, like 99% of all cars on the road, even in the "bad smog areas" are less than 10 years old. It would have next to zero effect on anything except that older cars wouldn't be restricted anymore.
I’d agree but the article is stating different. Older cars are the problem.
I’m working off the assumption that 1) the statement is correct and 2) sometimes you have to take action to appease an insignificant problem that others believe to be important.
