Keep in mind that emissions reduction are driving the conversion of buses and some truck transport, not cost savings. This will continue regardless of the price balance between diesel and natural gas. Beginning in July 1, 2009 California will require ships to use cleaner fuel than bunker fuel when they are within 32 miles of California. This alone will eliminate 11% of the particulate emissions in Los Angeles. Further changes will require container ships in the Port of Los Angeles to use the local electrical grid and shut down their diesel engines while in the Port of Los Angeles. The trucks which operate within the Port of Los Angeles are already powered by natural gas or electricity. Eventually the diesel trucks and trains moving in and out of the port will be required to use natural gas. Because the emissions of everything else have been so reduced, the Port of Los Angeles is the major pollution source in the city. Natural gas, or other clean fuel, will be used regardless of price. .
