Ride the California Tailpipe to Freedom
Ah! Keep tabs one and all, a new bill over a 14 year time period has started.
The Governor, of my fair state, California Mr. Arnold Schwarzenager now has a bill approved that is being implemented over concerns for greenhouse emissions in the world.
The intention is to lower emissions back to the level they were in 1990, a decrease of 25% by the year 2020. A bold move in California where the power plants, cement kilns etc. are the main sources of most emissions effecting this but where the car and truck exhaust have a greater effect on the overall condition than most other places on the planet.
This is a touchy subject as far as emission controls are and disputes already are existing in the courts between car industry organizations against emission controls being enacted on cars in California.
The deadline can be put off by a year in case of natural emergency or something to this effect, but can as well be changed by another bill to change this one.
Opinions and concerns aside, for a long term item to track this could be interesting to see roll out or attempt to fade off. It doesn't have to fade, we can see it through to the end.
