AP State News - High court decision on greenhouse gases could benefit California - sacbee.com: "The state has been asking the EPA for authority to limit tailpipe emissions since 2005, but the agency has yet to grant the state a waiver to do so. Eleven other states have adopted California's tougher rules, which would force automakers to cut exhaust from cars and light trucks by 25 percent and from sport utility vehicles by 18 percent, beginning in 2009.
'This case explicitly states that the Clean Air Act permits regulating greenhouse gases ... and the court has now clearly said that carbon dioxide is a pollutant,' Brown told The Associated Press in a telephone interview. 'That paves the way for California's waiver.'"
