Clean Air: California Sues EPA Over Vehicle Emissions
The state of California has filed a lawsuit challenging the Environmental Protection Agency’s decision to block it from enacting tough tailpipe-emission requirements for cars, SUVs and light trucks.
In announcing the lawsuit, filed on Jan. 2, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R) said, “It is unconscionable that the federal government is keeping California and nineteen other states from adopting these standards.”
