The city of Minneapolis made an odd move recently, restricting vehicle-idling time to three minutes in the name of the environment

National Review,  June 30, 2008  

> The city of Minneapolis made an odd move recently, restricting vehicle-idling time to three minutes in the name of the environment. It is unclear what portion of the city's pollution comes from more-than-three-minute idling to begin with, so the law may restrict freedom to no worthwhile end. And, just as annoying, the council chose to act on the cusp of summer--it is far from constituents' minds that, when the frigid winter comes, they will want to warm up their cars before heading out.
