10/31/2007 -- California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s chair of the California Air Resources Board (CARB), Mary D. Nichols, today issued the following statement regarding the filing of a lawsuit against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) over the failure to act on California’s request for a waiver to regulate greenhouse gas emissions in new vehicles:
“Governor Schwarzenegger believes the state and federal government should remain focused on the southern California wildfires. We have decided to postpone filing the lawsuit until the fires are under control and the victims are on the road to recovery.”
In April 2007, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling saying the U.S. EPA has the authority to regulate greenhouse gases. That same month, Gov. Schwarzenegger notified the U.S. EPA of CARB’s intent to sue if the federal government fails to act on California’s waiver.
