From Green Pages - NJ:I read a very good blog post from the NRDC regarding the EPA's reconsideration of California's request for a waiver under the Clean Air Act so that California can implement stricter greenhouse gas emission regulations for automobiles. The post is here. Once the waiver is granted, New Jersey's regulations which adopt the California regulations will be effective. These clean car regulations is part of New Jersey's plan to address global warming gases under its Global Warming Response Act.
Administrator Jackson was the Commissioner of DEP at the time that DEP adopted the Ca. regulations and she was very involved in the passage of the Global Warming Response Act. I believe that bodes well for her decision to grant the waiver. I'm sure we'll hear business complain about how now is the time to not impose stricter regulations, just as they did when the economy was strong. You would think Lisa Jackson, with her prior involvement in the issue would favor such a move. I always enjoy the arguments of those who advocate state's rights, but then try to block the decisions of the states that they don't agree with. |
