California granted waiver to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from motor vehicles

On June 30, the Environmental Protection Agency granted California the authority to regulate emissions of greenhouse gases from motor vehicles, beginning with the 2009 model year.  In overturning a previous decision, EPA has waived federal Clean Air Act pre-emption of more stringent state regulations. 

Further information can be found at the EPA website, http://www.epa.gov/otaq/climate/ca-waiver.htm.

  1. i think we should pass more strict laws against Greenhouse Gases. it is good to know that at least there is a reduction in Chloro Fluoro Carbon use today but the real problem today is still CO2.
