Posted Sun Jul 20 2008: from The Quad-City Times:
States, localities cracking down on idling engines http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1216567193
 "A billion gallons of diesel fuel are burned every year by idling long-haul trucks and locomotives, pushing 11 million tons of carbon dioxide into the air, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. That doesn't even count public buses, school buses and millions of cars across the country. Increasingly, though, it appears some states and localities see engine idling as an area in need of closer inspection."
