California Finally Admidts All Of The Regulations Have FAILED To Decrease Tailpipe Pollution

Californians now buy more than half of all EVs sold in the United States, and the state’s auto pollution policies have provided a model being adopted around the world.

But they’re not working at home, by the state’s own measure. Tailpipe pollution here is going up, not down, despite billions of dollars spent by one of the most environmentally progressive governments on Earth.

“The strategies that we’ve used up until now just haven’t been effective,” Mary Nichols, the head of the California Air Resources Board, told Reuters.

When was the last time any government study concluded that its efforts weren't working. Sounds like a government study designed to justify ever stricter regulations are in the works.

yes you will have to use a bicycle and pedal slowly as pedaling faster can increase CO2 emissions

@xjug1987a TomM is supposedly taking care of his stroke-stricken boss...you know the one that bought a new Rolls Royce Phantom 10 days after the "new" one premiered and hadn't yet gone into production. As for TheSteve have you ever noticed how he and Carlosasshatter speak in footnotes after they quote a person? Coincidence?

Did this Agent guy fail 3rd grade Reading class? The article plainly states California suffers from urban sprawl and traffic problems as the problem... not emission regulations. California’s population has exploded the last decades and even now adds to its massive amount of people despite horrible traffic and the number of vehicles has increased greatly. Next time, put aside your pre-determined ideology and learn to read for content.

Not only that anyone who visited or lived in those areas in the late 60s and early 70s I think would disagree. It was getting very bad out there and the various environmental regulations have made a big difference.

California needs to stop outsourcing and to start producing their own pollution instead of importing it from China.

Sounds like it's time to work closer with the city and county decision makers to fight urban sprawl
