President Trump signed the "Freedom Means Affordable Cars" executive order, which may pave the way for the return of "tiny cars" and small pickup trucks to the U.S. market. The move involves rolling back corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) standards and addressing crash rating barriers. The hosts discuss the potential return of small Toyota trucks and the "AdBlue" diesel exhaust fluid scam.

### Kamala Harris, Electric School Buses, Diesel Exhaust Claims

- **Episode:** [1455: Systemic Rivals](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1455-systemic-rivals.md)
- **Published:** 2022-05-29
- **Time:** 2:32:54–2:36:02
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1455-systemic-rivals/chapter/kamala-harris-electric-school-buses-diesel-exhaust-claims.md

Vice President Kamala Harris promoted electric school buses by claiming that children are exposed to 90 days of diesel exhaust over their school careers. Critics argue the claim is scientifically dubious and that modern diesel buses use "AdBlue" (urea) systems to significantly reduce emissions, making the push for electric replacements unnecessary.

### AdBlue Shortage, Diesel Exhaust Fluid, Pig Urine Power

- **Episode:** [1408: Booster Blitz](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1408-booster-blitz.md)
- **Published:** 2021-12-27
- **Time:** 37:26–40:30
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1408-booster-blitz/chapter/adblue-shortage-diesel-exhaust-fluid-pig-urine-power.md

A shortage of AdBlue and Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) threatens to disrupt global supply chains, as modern trucks are programmed to shut down without it. A 2010 BBC report is cited, revealing that companies in Denmark have used urea collected from pig urine to create diesel exhaust cleansing products. The segment explores the possibility of "farming" urea from human dialysis waste to meet industrial demand.

### AdBlue Urea Shortage, China Export Ban, Pig Urine Rumors

- **Episode:** [1407: Gob of Goo](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1407-gob-of-goo.md)
- **Published:** 2021-12-12
- **Time:** 13:32–23:00
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1407-gob-of-goo/chapter/adblue-urea-shortage-china-export-ban-pig-urine-rumors.md

A global shortage of urea has led to a crisis in the supply of AdBlue, a diesel exhaust fluid required for modern Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems to meet emission standards. China, the world's largest urea producer, halted exports to prioritize domestic fertilizer production, threatening to halt the Australian trucking and mining industries. The hosts address rumors that AdBlue contains pig urine, clarifying that while it uses urea, the claim of using raw animal waste is factually incorrect.

### Global Urea Shortage and Pink Slime Defamation

- **Episode:** [1406: Birthing Comrade](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1406-birthing-comrade.md)
- **Published:** 2021-12-09
- **Time:** 1:14:12–1:17:45
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1406-birthing-comrade/chapter/global-urea-shortage-and-pink-slime-defamation.md

Australia is facing a critical shortage of urea, an essential component for fertilizer and "AdBlue" diesel exhaust fluid, threatening the national supply chain. In a related look at food industry legalities, the segment recalls the $6 billion defamation lawsuit brought by Beef Products Inc. against ABC News over the "pink slime" reports. This legal history is cited as the reason why mainstream media is hesitant to report on the ingredients used by major food processors.
