How come they haven't proven sea-container ships (that have proven to pollute more in a year than auto industry in a decade) require some type of emission equipment? How come they can run bunker sea oil while at sea (where people don't see the smoke/pollution) and when they get near land they switch to lighter, cleaner burning oils? Why don't they have to burn 10% alcohol or burn "cleaner" fuels?

I won't comment on your science stuff, but the tankers and container ships operate in International waters and aren't subject to EPA regulations. Why do you think none of them are US flagged?
Oil is non renewable because it takes millions of years for it to be formed from organic material.
I street a non compliant car, but I'm not on anyone's side. My beef was that the EPA put this regulatory proposal in thousands of pages of documentation regarding heavy trucks and equipment.
