Just as ridiculous as their proposed big screen tv ban.... and by big screen they mean anything larger than 40 inches.

the ban would apply only to new cars. It's not retroactive.

LTb1ow 03-26-2009 05:38 PM

Good god.

Does the state of California realize that for every ton of emissions they "prevent", the country of China quadruples that amount in its output of emissions? (Quadruples is prob an understatement)

Expand on that please.

so they would save .8 million (aka 800grand) a yeah but yet cost the tax payers millions in upped prices.
I call BS on this the government can't place a ban like this car are considered an innerstate import/export or w/e it is and they would have to be banned nationwide for it to be effective.

what do you mean cost the tax payers millions?

california has its own emissions standards. for companies to sell emissions products in cali, they have to be carb certified.

CamaroJoe1987 03-26-2009 09:44 PM

The state government absolutely can place a ban or restrictions on that. Federal law wouldn't apply to that since it would fall under state emissions code...and each state can govern those laws as they see fit provided they are still with in Federal EPA guidelines.
