  1. So for what’s really not that that big of a deal, IMO! A publicly traded for profit company is going to pay huge dollars to a government that will probably turn around and give these funds to another country that only pretends to comply to environmental policies!

    Makes perfect sense to me! Is there no common sense left in this country?

  2. Look,
    For an agreed upon fine of that magnitude, the offense must have been egregious. This sends a message to other companies to follow the rules and help,long term, to curb climate change.

  3. Why should we let any company poison the air we breathe without any penalty? The rules are the same for everybody and letting someone get away with this gives an advantage to the cheaters – what sense is there in that? Glad the government is applying the rules, and that Cummins is accepting their responsibility.

  4. Climate change is happening. It’s going to take us all to limit the damage. Can’t believe that Cummins would just settle if it were not true. Disappointing they did this.

    1. It is a fair statement that we should be in fear of pissing off the earth because it will flick us off of it like fleas on a blanket, and less concerned that are damaging it

      we could also maybe stop polluting the planet and killing our race…

  5. Volkswagen was the first to get caught. I don’t remember if the EU or the EPA or both imposed fines. I think the CEO got fired on that one too.

    If you’ve ever been stopped at light and somebody in a big pickup truck with one of those engines stomps on it, and they disappear in huge cloud of black smoke, you that can’t be good for anybody.

    I still wonder why trucks don’t have similar regulatory requirements as cars. It just means more and more Amercians are buying trucks rather than cars.
