CA Threatens to Sue EPA Over Greenhouse Gas Regulations

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on Wednesday said his administration will sue the Environmental Protection Agency if it fails to act more quickly on California’s request to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from automobiles.

Responding Wednesday to Schwarzenegger’s letter, EPA spokeswoman Jennifer Wood said the agency was moving forward with California’s request. She said a final decision will be made at the end of the comment period. “The agency expects the federal registry to be published early next week. A hearing is scheduled for May 22nd and the comment period will end June 15th,” she told KCBS.
