California gears up for car emissions fight

California plans to sue the Environmental Protection Agency this week for delaying a decision over whether to let the state aggressively reduce car and truck tailpipe emissions, according to USA Today.

The lawsuit's outcome could affect not only the California law aimed at cutting greenhouse gases but also the ability of other states to take similar actions.


At stake are regulations California approved in 2004 that would require all new car models sold in the state, beginning in 2009, to cut their greenhouse gas emissions. The rules would lower heat-trapping gases from California vehicles by 18% by 2020, the California Air Resources Board says.
