California poised to ban new diesel trucks

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:57:02 GMT

(BCN) -- California's trucking industry is bracing for state regulators this week to enact unprecedented rules that would ban sales of new diesel big rigs by 2036 and convert large companies' existing trucks to zero emissions by 2042. "The amount of chaos and dysfunction that is going to be created by this rule will be like nothing we've ever seen before," said Chris Shimoda, senior vice president of the California Trucking Association, an industry trade group. "The likelihood that it is going to fail pretty spectacularly is very high. It's very unfortunate." The state Air Resources Board will hold a public hearing on its proposed regulation on Thursday, then is expected to vote on Friday. The proposal aims to clean up noxious diesel exhaust and greenhouse gases spewed by big rigs, garbage trucks, delivery trucks and other large vehicles by converting them to models powered by electricity or hydrogen.

‘Razz (The) Documentary’: Revered DC band, from ‘explosive’ to fizzle

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:57:02 GMT

Any fan of D.C.’s 1980s punk and new wave music scene has likely heard of Razz — the explosive and original band destined to be the next big thing.Yet, many of those entertained and fascinated by Razz — including me — never got the chance to see them, between their start in 1971 and breakup in late 1979.Spoiler alert: The D.C.-area band regarded by many as most-likely to reach rock stardom, didn’t.Yet, Razz’s impact continues to fuel interest about the band that became an area phenomenon, amid a club scene dominated by cover bands and a record industry that found them impossible to label.Saturday, filmmakers Jeff Krulik and Richard Taylor will screen an extended director’s cut of “Razz (The) Documentary,” at AFI Silver Theatre and Cultural Center in Silver Spring, Maryland.“When you saw Razz at a small place, like The Keg (in Georgetown), or Childe Harold (in Dupont Circle) or the Psychedelly (in Bethesda), the experience was ‘this is incredible — this is nat...

Berlin sees 10th day of road blockades by climate activists

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:57:02 GMT

BERLIN (AP) — Climate activists staged a 10th straight day of protests in Berlin, blocking key roads during rush hour and bringing parts of the German capital to a standstill Friday before being removed by police.Members of the Last Generation group glued themselves to the road, causing a traffic jam for commuters driving into the city. The group wants to draw attention to the threat of global warming and the need for governments to step up measures to curb greenhouse gas emissions.At a crossing in the north of the capital, many drivers waited patiently for police to clear the road, though some hurled abuse at the activists, calling them “terrorists” and “scum.” Several pedestrians applauded the protesters, giving them a thumbs-up, while one passerby offered them food and water.Last Generation has acknowledged that its protests are provocative, but it argues that by stirring friction it can encourage debate within society about climate change.“Sure, there are those who insult or cri...
