Did dhmartens just post a relevant, informative and concise post? This is a first.
I say we support the Santa Clarina CEMEX 5M ton expansion. This jumbo aggregate mine will make the Sakaida economics less persuasive.

I had extensive discussions with CASM during Spring Air. One item I brought up is:
Obama Orders EPA, NHTSA to Issue Heavy-Duty Truck Standards by 2016.

http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-off ... trucks-bol
If these new standards are in place by the time this all comes about then truck pollution could be much less.

Diesel exhaust and many individual substances contained in it (including arsenic, benzene, formaldehyde and nickel) have the potential to contribute to mutations in cells that can lead to cancer. In fact, long-term exposure to diesel exhaust particles poses the highest cancer risk of any toxic air contaminant evaluated by OEHHA. ARB estimates that about 70 percent of the cancer risk that the average Californian faces from breathing toxic air pollutants stems from diesel exhaust particles.
