The stupidest part of the whole engineering issue is that the federal goverment wants to slam down Californias efforts at tougher emission standards. The Feds, those corporate ass-kissing former and future lobbyist wannabes, are claiming that although California could write a tougher clean air law, when it comes to auto emissions the only way to improve auto emissions is by improving mileage, which is the sole province of the federal government.
This is of course pure horse manure, since a catalytic converter does not improve mileage.
So here is our "state's rights" conservative Congress using a loophole to prevent a state from trying to resolve a clean air issue on it's own.
bastards.
