EPA Says 17 States Can’t Set Emission Rules for Cars - New York Times
EPA Says 17 States Can’t Set Emission Rules for Cars - New York Times
Excerpt:
"The Environmental Protection Agency on Wednesday denied California and 16 other states the right to set their own standards for carbon dioxide emissions from automobiles.
The E.P.A. administrator, Stephen L. Johnson, said the proposed California rules were pre-empted by federal authority and made moot by the energy bill signed into law by President Bush on Wednesday. Mr. Johnson said California had failed to make a compelling case that it needed authority to write its own standards for greenhouse gas emissions from cars and trucks to help curb global warming."

"Demand for renewable energy is outstripping supply, pushing up prices and raising the specter that some states may not meet clean-energy mandates. Behind the shortage is the growing number of states requiring utilities to include clean energy in their power mix, as well as surging demand from big businesses."
