The Failed Pacifist

EPA Denies Calif Waiver Request

It would have allowed the state to put limits on greenhouse gas for cars, trucks and SUVs. Arnold isn't pleased with the decision, which is the first time the EPA has fully denied California a Clean Air Act waiver.

"It is disappointing that the federal government is standing in our way and ignoring the will of tens of millions of people across the nation," said Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. "California sued to compel the agency to act on our waiver, and now we will sue to overturn today's decision and allow Californians to protect our environment."
