State’s Rights

Oh really? you say. The Republicans are all about state’s rights?
Yesterday, the Bush administration released new federal fuel efficiency standards. (Not surprisingly, the standards will do little to increase fuel efficiency and may actually encourage automakers to produce bigger, more inefficient vehicles.)
Buried on page 150 of the draft rule is a provision that would totally undermine state efforts to curb CO2 emissions:
In other words, no state can have a fuel efficiency rule any different than the federal government. So much for state’s rights.
In other words — fuck you, California!
It’s not just California. A coalition of Northeast states just announced a similiar agreement.
I wonder what AAAHHHHnold will have to say. Caleeforneeeuh is under attack. You know, with duh Congress and the writtings of duh laws and whatnot.
