I can't wait for an end to this administration. This article discusses how the feds aren't letting California have stricter clean air standards than the federal laws. Not only is this a problem for California, but several other states were planning to follow California's lead and will also be unable to if this persists. The whole thing is even more ridiculous because California has a long history of having stricter standards--which really seem needed if we are to get out of the global warming mess. Read this short editorial from NYT about the topic:
