“Colorado mechanic Troy Lake, former and (we hope) future operator of Elite Diesel, was incarcerated by the Biden administration. The 65-year-old fixed diesel vehicles. Unfortunately for him, he did so by removing EPA-mandated emissions systems that supposedly help keep the air clean. By forcing vehicles to recirculate exhaust, the systems also make it harder for them to function properly. … In December 2024, a judge sentenced Troy to 12 months in prison and fined him $52,500 for ‘conspiracy to violate the Clean Air Act.'” (08/08/25)
