New Idle Laws as of Jan 2019

As for Tx, if you look at the cities, its mostly ones that have been invaded by yuppie f### heads. You'll noticr no W. Tx cities or counties are on there lol and I can tell you for a fact that those laws aren't enforced. I can go 3mi down the freeway right now to FJ, Petro, Pilot and TA and I bet there will be atleast 50 trucks per place idling.

 

My question is , why the hell do we have " Clean idle trucks " ?

 

Because a small amount of poison in 5 minutes is still loads better than lots of poison in 5 minutes. Some places do have exemptions, but what's wrong with making something better for the sake of it?

 

Since I have been put in a day cab now I could care less about the so called idle laws. That hotel corporate card is nice.

 

Ok let's go after trains, ships 4 wheelers etc., not just big trucks. What's good for one sector should be good for all.

 

Excellent point! Well said.

 

Didn't AOC just try to shut down air travel in the Green New Deal?

 

Not sure but on that note I did learn something interesting the other day as far as fuel consumption for air travel.
A typical passenger airplane loaded to capacity will use approximately 2.9L/100KM (per passenger) to move. Learned from Captain Joe on youtube.

I always thought air travel was very energy intensive. Turns out... it really isn't. If traveling alone by car, the car will use easily 2x (on the average).
