Chic News: Obama Lets Tougher Emissions Standards Go Through

Ah, thanks President Obama.

You did a 180 on Bush’s previous disapproval of states setting harsher emissions requirements. Now, 14 states are able to crack down on emissions.

From Treehugger:

California’s waiver would have required carmakers to slash vehicle emissions by almost a third by 2016 (increasing the fuel efficiency of the car and light truck fleet to 36 mpg), 4 years ahead of the federal deadline; it was meant to take effect in the 2009 model year.
