Long Beach offers financial assistance for Clean Trucks Program.


The port announced that it will be offering up to 80% for those who participate in the leasing and grant program for private truck owners seeking to replace their trucks in order to meet the new standards outlined by the port’s Clean Trucks Program. Three programs will be offered by the ports to provide subsidies to owners, and they are as follows:

The lease-to-own program allows the applicant to scrap their old truck for a pre-approved new truck with a seven-year lease agreement. After the conclusion of the seven year lease agreement, the port will provide a subsidy towards the purchase of the leased truck equivalent to either 50% of the remaining balance or $7,500 for a diesel truck and $13,000 for an alternative fuel truck.

The grant for purchase option allows the applicant to exchange an older truck for a pre-approved new truck, utilizing the port grant. As much as 80% will be covered by the grant, and the applicant will provide the remaining cost. However, the older truck must be scrapped.

The third option is a grant for retrofitting an old truck. The port will provide a one-time grant of up to $20,000 towards the equipment needed to retrofit 1994-2003 truck models.

No matter which option the owners choose, the port’s Clean Trucks Program will require all old trucks to be progressively phased out by January 1, 2010. By October 1, 2008, all trucks older than 1988 will be immediately banned.

Long Beach terminals begin air-quality program today.

The Clean Trucks Program will start today october 01 2008, phasing out dirty trucks from port service by barring all 1988 and older vehicles. By 2012, all trucks entering Port terminals must have engines that meet 2007 federal emission standards, which are 80% cleaner than existing engines.

The Port will begin assessing a temporary fee of $35 per a 20-foot-long cargo container to fund a one-time truck replacement financial assistance program that will help truck owners to quickly comply with the clean truck deadlines.

Thousands of truckers have already signed on to the Port’s Clean Trucks Program, promising to transition to clean trucks. The Port is urging all truckers to join in improving air quality and moving cargo.

James Hankla, president of the Long Beach Board of Harbor Commissioners, said, “Our Clean Trucks Program will bring a new generation of clean trucks and clean air to this region, and begin a new era in port security.

Gentlemen,

This is a letter I just sent to Congressman Ron Klein of West Palm Beach and Florida Senator Bill Nelson. I suggest that all of our members do something similar to your congress members to provoke some reaction from our politicians.

Mr. Bill Nelson,

Florida is one of the worst hit states in the Real Estate crisis. Our tourism industry is being hit tremendously by the gasoline price hikes. And our state is one of the least served with alternative forms of energy. But we can do something about it and one of the things we can do is to facilitate the creation of an infrastructure to sell, install conversion kits in our cars and distribute natural gas within our region.

There are entrepreneurs interested in creating this infrastructure, but the major obstacle is EPA, which has no scientific reason to keep their antique regulations for the conversion of our cars to use natural gas in our roads. There are no technology barriers at all.

It would save our taxpayers a lot of money in the near future while providing for a new source of employment for thousands of Floridians in a brand new industry. In training of new mechanics, installation of conversion kits, installation of natural gas filling stations, distribution of natural gas across the state and maintenance of it all.

There’s a Bill going through Congress now, entitled “THE DRIVE AMERICA ON NATURAL GAS ACT OF 2008” introduced by Senator James Inhofe of Oklahoma.

If you need to research more about it, please visit www.push.pickensplan.com. Please, click here if you want to see the reactions to my discussion Brazil is 100% oil independent. Why aren't we?.

While there you can also see several pictures and videos related to the usage of natural gas as a vehicle propulsion energy both in Brazil and the US.

As a citizen I urge you to support this Bill to pass and provide easier means for our people to expend less on their cars while creating a new industry for the state of Florida.

Your voter,

Getulio Bastos

Dear Pickens Plan Members. There are many choices for alternative electric energy but the real question is; which is the most cost effective for where I live? Pickens Plan is a NATIONAL plan that promises to bring cost effective energy drawn from the windy Mid-US where the wind is strong and steady and solar power from our dessert areas. The reason for doing this is to free-up natural gas for our transportation fleet, which uses 38% of our imported oil and for automobiles as a second fuel choice. Right now the electric energy generation part of the plan is not as important (unless you live where natural gas or heating oil is used for energy) as moving our transportation away from gasoline and diesel into natural gas. What can you do to help with this? If you have mechanical inclinations learn about using NG as a fuel or if you know mechanics try to steer them into auto/truck conversions that use natural gas as a dual fuel choice. Send letters and emails to your gov. representatives telling them you want them to adopt Pickens Plan. Vote for propositions that offer to expand natural gas distribution for fuel. We need more distribution of NG as a fuel. Sincerely, FredDC
NEWS ITEM: Nancy Pelosi makes personal investment in Pickens Plan. I don’t know how or to whom she gave $50 to 100k (she wasn’t very specific) but she told Tom Brokaw today on Meet the Press. Will have to wait until next week to get the transcript.
