Comment | I have heard that China puts more pollutants in the air in a week than your project will save over a twenty year period..... so how can you think of putting the financial burden of these proposed regulations on the already struggling trucking industry? Do you relly think we can just pull money out of our a$$e$ to accomodate your folly in the name of clean air, OR even more preposterous in the name of craeting more jobs. Your passage of these regulations will force a huge percentage of California's trucking companies into closing their doors. How many jobs will that cost? After they are gone you better hang on to your personal wallets, their will be such a shortage of trucks in Californbia, the shipping rates will certainly rise and add to the consumer's costs in a manner that could make everyone forget what happened when fuel was $near $5.00/gallon. The surviving companies will be in the driver's seat..... You environmentalists and your "green" agenda have all but crippled this country. You have made us slaves to OPEC and other oil producing countries with your ban on drilling, and now you want to increase the burden on our citizenry with these regulations in the name of stopping global warming, something that is probably caused by a change in weather patterns more than we humans. Also, do you really think the out of state carriers will comply? California is already one of the least desireable states for out of state carriers, why would you wnat to add to it?? I'm thinking if I was an out of state carrier, my trucks would stop at the border and tell California to come get it, or not come to the West Coast at all. ....... hmmm maybe that's the answer I'll get out of trucking and build warehouses at the border to cross dock California's goods.... how much will that add to the cost of goods coming in?? |
