Environmental groups say the EPA’s decision to allow the state to impose its own tough rules on auto emissions, will benefit all Californians. David Allgood with the California League of Conservation Voters says it will not only mean cleaner air and less dependence on foreign oil, but it will also save Californians money by reducing their fuel costs. He says if you reduce the amount of fuel needed to move people and goods around, you will improve the environment and health of those suffering from asthma and other illnesses caused by air pollution. Governor Schwarzenegger called the decision a huge step for the state’s emerging green economy that will create thousands of new jobs and bring Californians the cars they want while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
