CA sues automakers for greenhouse gasses

Of course, why wouldn't I expect anything less from the land of fruits and nuts? I'm ashamed that I'm a native of that state sometimes...

Gee - maybe the automakers should just stop selling their cars in the state... Just raise taxes more and everyone will be forced to use public transportation. Ahhhh - just like the crazy wackos that run the state want it.

And Arnold went along with this? Geez - his re-election prospects must be in the crapper.

Seems to me that CA has had the toughest polution laws forever. I mean making people with old 50's cars have polution equipment? Now they are blaming the auto manufacturers? Sounds like CA is out of money and is on that sue happy binge going around America. Question is, do the vehicles sold in the state meet the required standards for the state? Yes, soooooooooo,
how are the manufacturers to blame? Not standing up for them...just confused?

Actually CA should sue the owners of the cars & Trucks? They are the ones doing the pollution. Then you got outdoor grills, fireplaces, restaurants, cigars & cigaretts. I think cow emit gasses also... sue them too.

Red face another tax

as soon as the mfr's have to pay, the price of vehicles in cali will sky rocket. they will still have vehicles available for a while. until the dealers go bankrupt.

i wonder how many more companies will leave the state.....



stop nafta and bring good paying jobs back to the u.s. of a.

Yes it's like here in Vancouver, B. C. We have some very highly educated politicians, board members, city council members and so on. Someone or a few people decided they didn't like the smell coming from resturants. So they wanted them all to have extensive air filtration systems to remove any oder from the grills and eating areas plus no more outside eating. This went on for a year at a cost of more then a few million dollars. Well no system in place and these people are still in power forever. No money returned and the last question to the general people was that most liked the smells from the resturants.
We are now a society controlled by the few and not the many.
