Tahoe Transportation District blog: The bad news about letting your car run idle
Submitted by Editor on Fri, 11/18/2011 - 5:20pmWe’re confronted with it every day at every stop light. When the light goes red, we stop and our vehicles sit idle letting out exhaust and that’s just at the traffic signal. We also allow our vehicles to idle if we’re warming up our engines, running multiple errands with stops in which we don’t turn the engine off, and at fast food drive through windows. Vehicle idling is a problem because it wastes energy, is bad for the environment, and with recent studies, bad for our brain cells.
