Hint: It’s a New Battery that Will Stop Trucks from Idling – CleanTechnica Sun, 10 Oct 2010 13:52:17 +0000 http://cleantechnica.com/2008/05/15/trucks-reduce-emissions-by-83/#comment-34294 [...] Truck stop electrification can be used to funnel electricity from the grid to parked trucks, and it could also leave the door open for installing solar panels at truck stops.  Onboard solar panels for buses and fire trucks are also being tested as a means of reducing idling, and this could be adapted for heavy duty truck use. The maritime industry is being targeted for anti-idling programs relating to tugboats, which spend a significant amount of time idling or performing tasks with low energy requirements. Many of these programs would not be advancing without the help of federal and state clean energy and anti-pollution funds, both of which could be in jeopardy if obstructionists carry the day in the upcoming election.

It's such a win-win that I'm sure truck drivers will seek out stops with electrification. Your closing remark (which I know was a throwaway) is interesting because it illustrates Jevon's paradox - efficiency begets new ways to do more with the same. Which is great, in itself, but does tend to stymie efforts to look for energy reductions. It is a great idea. It’s such a win-win that I’m sure truck drivers will seek out stops with electrification.

It would also be great to install similar units at tourist areas that cater to bus traffic. As a frequent visitor to DC, I know of several parking lots where the drivers idle so they can run air conditioners in the sultry summertime while they are resting and their passengers are off on foot tours. That is technically illegal in DC, but some out of towner buses have never gotten the word or they choose to take the risk of a fine instead of allowing their buses to heat up. What a great idea!
