Environment

Obama is considering allowing each state to make its own laws regarding emissions testing for cars. That means much tougher standards will be set in place than the last eight years. The tri-state area- CT, NY, and NJ- already have all said their states standards will be much higher than the regluations (or lack there of) we have seen the past eight years from Washington.

The Govern-ator might be the happiest one of all. On NPR he said how happy he was to finally have an administration that will let California enforce and carry out its environmental laws- which are among the strongest in the country. Twelve states have adopted the CA standard.

Clearly, much more has to be done to save the planet- but it's a start in the right direction.
