The EPA has gotten out of hand. Example take a trucker hauling fresh fruit or meat to market. He has driven his 10 hrs must pull over an rest, the reefer keeps running to keep the food from spoiling, But he cant idle his engine to keep cool or warm so as to get some sleep, so he can safely drive on to deliver fresh goods/ Another example a yr before the Book Press closed a environmental guy was driving up 91 he saw excessive smoke atop the BP an came in to investigate, we told him that it was because the printing we were doing was covered in half tones =pictures / We explained that very seldom did we produce that much smoke 98% was under EPA guide lines. Guess what 3 months later i was having to get bids for a million dollar after burner system. that alone pushed BP over the edge an out of busines along with 100s of jobs/ NOW THIS CAP ANTRADE, Just more jobs lost , higher energy bills etc. But not for China or India.

If the law has to enforce this then while the violation why is the crusier running and that ambulance standing byto keep it warm/cool or ready is not right that cruiser and fire engines should shut down also according to the laws of stupid. Well the trailer full of fruit{you see I said fruit and not beef so the stupid can equate to the problem what about the stars limo and the ice cream truck and the school bus running all safety lights so it needs to run because my kids are on that bus. opps I'm sorry that bus over there not this one. LOSER in the twisted form
