Amid a growing dispute over climate change and vehicle emissions standards, the Trump administration on Tuesday threatened to withhold highway funding and other federal grants from California over its “chronic air quality problems.”
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Andrew Wheeler accused California in a letter of having hundreds of backlogged air quality improvement plans and 34 million people living in places with air quality below national standards. Wheeler claims California is failing to comply with its “most basic tasks” under the Clean Air Act. “
As evidenced by the EPA’s recent work on interstate air pollution issues as well as analysis accompanying its rulemakings, California’s chronic air quality problems are not the result of cross-state air pollution or this administration’s regulatory reform efforts,” Wheeler said in a letter to the California Air Resources Board, dated Sept. 24.
Wheeler’s letter comes on the heels of the state’s latest high-profile lawsuit against the Trump administration, this time over California’s longstanding right to set emissions rules that are stricter than the federal government’s. More
Let alone that whole Nancy Pelosi supported shit hole, San Fran Nan,,
I’ll believe that when they withhold funds for it being a sanctuary state.
And Califs answer will be more intrusive vehicle inspections, higher taxes and fees.
HaHa! Clean up your own damn air before you dictate everyone elses.
Oh, *gawd*…the environment, again?!? GRETA SAID IT BEST:

California sues Trump in …3…2…
But won’t that high speed train fix all that?
Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are great. They emit water as exhaust. They are essentially electric vehicles with an on-board generator. The current problem is getting the hydrogen. The best solution is to use nuclear power to crack water. The problem is that seawater corrodes the electrodes so fast it isn’t practical to use as a source.
California. If Greta was a state!
oh no, please, please don’t give the weasels in Sacramento any excuse to put the screws to us producers that are trapped in this leftist cesspool even harder, because they will use any excuse increase the amount that they loot from our state’s economy. Any excuse at all.
How about cleaning up their shit on streets? That goes into storm sewers and ends up in ocean. If you have a porta potty next to a sewer on a new home project you can be fined 800,000.00. A national new home builder was fined that amount, but shitting on streets that have sewers running to water is okay?
They don’t use the money for infrastructure anyway. It goes to the school system and illegals. And even then, they post teachers in front of supermarkets begging people to sign petitions for more cash for schools.
Why don’t you get a job Spicoli? All I need are nice waves, a cool buzz, and I’m fine. That’s the CA I remember growing up in.
The save the planet crowd always has the worst air.
