EPA staff backed Calif. pollution waiver - Yahoo! News

EPA staff backed Calif. pollution waiver - Yahoo! News: "EPA officials told the agency's administrator that California had 'compelling and extraordinary conditions' to justify a federal waiver allowing the state to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles, according to excerpts of documents released Wednesday.

Yet when Administrator Stephen Johnson denied the state's request for a waiver in December, he said the California standards were not needed to meet 'compelling and extraordinary conditions,' one of the criteria in federal law."
