In a much-needed move, the California Air Resources Board has adopted amendments to the In-Use Off-Road Diesel Vehicle regulation, which include using early implementation credits to delay retrofitting or repowering fleets’ existing equipment and allowing the delay of certain compliance obligations for 2011 and 2012 until 2013.

Contractors to Equipment Manufacturers: It’s not who you know but how well you know them
It seems like a common sense: The more you know about your customers, the easier it is to serve them in a profitable manner. But this means knowing more than what’s in their construction equipment fleet. “The focus needs to be on customers and their expectations and needs,” said Greg Kittle, vice president of corporate […]

Carbon sequestration plan called a sham
One of the big ideas the Obama people floated during the primaries and election last fall was the notion that we were going to take all our surplus carbon dioxide and somehow dump it back into the earth or the ocean or trade it out by planting trees. Yet one of the world’s top environmentalists– […]

California budget deal eases off-road emissions rules
The story from the Los Angeles Times is short on specifics, but long on weeping and wailing from the greens. This quote is so over the top that it’s almost satire: “There are people who will die because of this delay,” said Mary D. Nichols, chairman of the state Air Resources Board. “It is sad […]

City or suburb: which has the biggest carbon footprint?
Surprisingly, this study shows urban apartments use more energy–up to 70 percent more–than comparable residences in the suburbs. This swats down the arguement favored by environmentalistfashionistas who want to round us all up and squeeze us into trendy, loft apartments. And this study doesn’t take into account all that carbon dioxide being sequestered by suburban lawns, shrubs and […]

EPA declares carbon dioxide a danger
We knew this was coming. Now the only debate is whether the EPA will get authority to write the regulations governing the amount of carbon dioxide any business, equipment or vehicle can emit, or whether congress will write it’s own cap-and-trade style regulations. Congress has authority to take the lead. Either way you can bet […]

Killing coal, tilting at windmills
Despite ever increasing electricity demands, there’s a huge slowdown in the construction of coal fired power plants–nine just this year, enough to provide electricity to 5-million homes. With Bush out of office and Obama in, environmentalists are winning this battle, but who is losing? Even though the science on global warming is far from certain, […]

Cleanest coal plants in the world: China
The cleanest and most high tech coal powered electricity plants are being built today in China, of all places, at the rate of one a month.

Our increasingly illogical transportation policy

Michigan DOT to cut 137 road projects
So much for the stimulus bill. Here is a perfect example of why the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 is largely useless in the face of so many other government mandated economic sanctions. A declining economy and gas tax revenues have forced Michigan to cancel $740 million in road and bridge work. The state […]

Emissions: trains worse than planes
Researchers at the University of California Berkeley have deduced that when it comes to emissions of greenhouse gasses and consumption of fossil fuels, you’re doing the planet a favor if you take a plane rather than a train.
