The article reports on the refusal of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from motor vehicles in California. Stephen L. Johnson, EPA administrator, announces that their agency would not grant a waiver under the Clean Air Act authority since California has not given enough conditions for regulating the emissions. The decision of EPA has directed Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and 13 other governors to file a lawsuit to reverse the decision on the basis that the disapproval of EPA was without merit.
