    Go ahead and poke fun at California, the truth is idling is 1) a huge waste of money and 2) a huge externality that impacts everyone.

    i idled ALL night, EVERY night at Werner. didn't feel guilty about it either. one hand warmer taped to each sensor, wrapped with a bandana, then inserted into an insulated glove = idle all night long. :)

    Sure, and when it doesn't, the feedback will be that I didn't take the preventative measures. Negligence is the cause of many evils.
