more bad news about the energy bill

The EPA has decided that the federal energy bill overrides state emissions standards. So states like California that want to set higher regulations on car emissions are no longer allowed to. The states will be taking the argument to a federal court, but, well... 

This energy bill was definitely a bad idea.

The EPA is being sued by California. Their own counsel advised their administrator that this would happen and that they would loose. This worthless administration will stretch it out until their final month, if they can.

The Clean Air Act allows California to set their own standards. It has been done many times in the past and their requests for variance have never before been turned down.
