Anybody heard of or seen this abomination in action?
"The New Jersey Senate voted yesterday to ban a modification to diesel engines that critics said has been used to intimidate drivers of eco-friendly cars. With the modification, cars with diesel engines are retrofitted with smokestacks that can release a plume of black smoke on demand, in a practice called "coal rolling." Environmentalists said the practice has become a sort of protest to President Obama's Clean Power Plan and that diesel drivers will often "coal roll" by drivers of alternative-fuel vehicles, using the soot to block their views. The bill would ban both the engine modifications and the practice of smoke blowing (Steve Strunsky, Newark*Star-Ledger* <http://www.nj.com/politics/index.ssf/2014/12/coal_rolling_ban_approved_by_state_senate.html#incart_river>, Dec. 1)" _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com All posts are the result of individual contributors and as such, those individuals are responsible for the content of the post.
