California Sues EPA for Action on Its Request for the Right to Limit Motor Vehicle Emissions of Greenhouse Gasses (5 November 2007)
On 5 November 2007, the State of California filed a Complaint for Declaratory and Injunctive Relief in federal court in Washington D.C. The suit asks a judge to order the Environmental Protection Agency to act on California’s request that it be allowed to set limits on motor vehicle emissions of greenhouse gases. California, under the federal Clean Air Act, will be allowed to set limits that are more strict than those set by the federal government if the EPA grants the state a waiver. California submitted its application for that waiver in December, 2005, and the EPA has not yet acted on it.
