ELECTRIC STOPS * USA - EPA gives Ariz. cash for truck anti-pollution push
Phoenix,AZ,USA -Associated Press/KOLD News TV -10 April 2009: -- Arizona is receiving $1.7 million in U.S. Environmental Protection Agency money for a program designed to reduce pollution from idling diesel trucks... The money is from the federal economic stimulus package and will be used by the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality to install about 80 plug-in electric systems at truck stops across the state. The power allows drivers to run air conditioning systems in their cabs and freezer units on their trailers without using their diesel engines... DEQ spokesman Mark Shaffer says trucking companies are expected to pay for the electricity, but the cost should be half what they pay in fuel for idling trucks...
