ARB restates commitment to establishing a national vehicle
greenhouse gas standard

In response to inaccurate reports that California may pull out
of an agreement regarding greenhouse gas standards announced last
May by the White House, Chairman Mary D. Nichols of the
California Air Resources Board made the following statement:

"The California Air Resources Board is fully committed to the
agreement to establish a national vehicle greenhouse gas standard
announced last May by President Obama in the Rose Garden,” said
ARB Chairman Mary D. Nichols. “There are still difficult
technical issues to be resolved, as is to be expected in
developing any pioneering rule, but we are confident that they
will be worked out successfully. We look forward to working with
both the EPA and the Department of Transportation in a spirit of
cooperation to ensure the complete success of the Rose Garden
agreement."

The Air Resources Board is a department of the California
Environmental Protection Agency. ARB’s mission is to promote and
protect public health, welfare, and ecological resources through
effective reduction of air pollutants while recognizing and
considering effects on the economy. The ARB oversees all air
pollution control efforts in California to attain and maintain
health based air quality standards.

The energy challenge facing California is real. Every
Californian needs to take immediate action to reduce energy
consumption. For a list of simple ways you can reduce demand and
