While greehouse gas is considered bad for the enviroment, consider
the cost of electrification and the cost to equip the numerous
trucks that enter California for sole purpose of providing for the
needs of the citizens of California.  The millions of dollars that
drivers spend while in transit through the state to destination,
and then reloading and departing the state.  You want to force
regulations not only upon your state, but legislate changes that
truck makers would have to comply with, and in effect making all
other states bend to your regulatory process.  With the current
idle reduction equipment, we have reduces in great levels the
poluting factors, with USLD (Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel), and APU
(Auxilary Power Unit) use.  I can tell you that not only does your
goverment regulation, and enforcement agencies cause difficult
times for truckers,  the continued direction to the industry that
moves America, and California will not tolerate much more stress. 
You will force drivers not to come to California,  placing an
overburden on the already numbing effect of 2007 emissions, and
cost to carriers to stay in business.  If you must place such
restrictions on transportation industry, first, put in place
additional parking areas already equiped to handle the demands or
prospective regulations,  a way to benefit the industry for the
change, and not just a blind resoultion.  Remember,  everything
you have in your home including your home came by truck, and
without trucks your society would colapse.
