  Thanks Biden.

  If Republicans win the White House, they will install another pro-business, anti-consumer head of the EPA (and other agencies, of course) which will undo any Right-2-Repair progress we have made in recent years.

    That’s why it’s so vital that important decisions such as this are enshrined into law, anything short of that is unfortunately just a band-aid solution. As we’ve seen with the supreme court, even a long term band-aid solution is still just a band-aid solution.

      Exactly. Bandaids are meant to be removed once the underlying issue is fixed.

      What makes you think law matters? SCOTUS can gut whatever laws they want with their bullshit.

  TL;DW:

  • Why is the EPA of all government orgs involved in this? A: Because the claim by John Deere was that you can't repair your own shit due to "emissions concerns."
  • Okay so what did the EPA do? A: Read this article which is what he reads out loud in the video

    This will do nothing. It does not represent a change in law. The EPA is just rebutting the industry argument that new legislation that might require manufacturers to release their diagnostic tools could run afoul of existing EPA policy.

    The letter clarifies that the agency interpretation of the statute is that it does not prohibit owner repairs in any way, except that owners of course can ot defeat any emissions mechanism.

    It’s the right policy position. I hope there is some testing and enforcement for some of that giant farm equipment.
