What about refrigerated diesel trucks? When the diesel engine turns off, the cooling turns off. Has this tattletale also considered the horrendous emissions of engines whose catalysts cool down? Idling is sometimes cleaner, sometimes dirtier, this kind of blanket enforcement makes no sense to me.
Where I live in CA, people object to diesel idling more due to noise than anything else.
