How can President Bush stand so boldly with special interests, while cowardly blocking proactive efforts to protect our environment and leave behind a cleaner world for our children and grandchildren? The Clean Air Act gives California the authority to set stronger standards. The California plan has more aggressive timelines to reverse nearly 7 years of environmental neglect and reduce greenhouse-gas emissions in cars. That is the right approach. # # # Next Article | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
