Automakers Seek to Delay Ethanol Blending Raise. Washington —
Citing new test data, the auto industry says the federal
government’s plan to raise the amount of ethanol mixed into
gasoline will damage cars and increase the amount of pollution
they emit. The Environmental Protection Agency is expected to
issue a rule in the next few weeks that would permit oil
companies to increase the percentage of ethanol in automotive
fuel to 15 percent, up from the current level of 10 percent, so
they can meet E.P.A. quotas for renewable fuels. Posted.

Compliant Truckers Protest Dirty Trucks Extensions. When
officials at the California Air Resources Board discussed the
possibility of extending the deadline for air quality
regulations, a group of compliant trucking companies let them
know exactly how they felt about the proposed extension.
Representatives from some of the compliant trucking companies
attended an Oakland Trucker Workgroup meeting in March and
learned that CARB and the Bay Area Air Quality Management
District were considering a deadline extension until June 30 for
some truckers. Posted.

Hydrogen-Powered Ideas And Cars On Display In Long Beach. Long
Beach - After some five years of planning and decades of
dreaming, engineers are laying the groundwork for a new
generation of hydrogen fueling stations across California.
Praised for their durability and lack of emissions, hydrogen
vehicles are expected to double in number in California each year
until 2017, when an estimated 50,000 will be cruising Golden
State highways and roads. And dozens of stations are going up to
service these cars, trucks, buses, motorcycles and forklifts of a
not-too-distant future. Posted.

EPA Proposes 2 Alternate Rules For Disposal Of Coal Ash. U.S.
EPA's proposal for regulating coal ash wastes yesterday did
nothing to stem industry predictions that one option -- a
hazardous waste label -- would spell the ruin of climate-friendly
recycling efforts. Coal-powered utilities and ash recyclers have
furiously lobbied both EPA and the White House on the issue. They
say that any kind of hazardous designation will create disastrous
public "stigma" and liability issues for companies that sell
concrete, bricks and wall-board containing recycled coal
combustion wastes. Posted.

EPA To Resolve Navistar Lawsuit By Reviewing Engine Guidelines.
Truck manufacturer Navistar International Corp. said yesterday
that it agreed to drop a legal challenge to U.S. EPA after the
agency said it would review its usage guidelines for diesel truck
engines. The out-of-court settlement would conclude a federal
lawsuit alleging that the agency ignored its own rules and
procedures by allowing Navistar's competitors to use an engine
technology that might not comply with stricter standards for
nitrogen oxide in diesel exhaust. Posted.

OP-ED: No Fooling Mother Nature. There is only one meaningful
response to the horrific oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and that
is for America to stop messing around when it comes to designing
its energy and environmental future. The only meaningful response
to this man-made disaster is a man-made energy bill that would
finally put in place an American clean-energy infrastructure that
would set our country on a real, long-term path to ending our
addiction to oil. Posted.

San Diego Plans For Future Housing, Transportation. San Diego is
the first region in California to tackle what seems to be an
impossible task: planning for a major population expansion while
at the same time cutting back on greenhouse gases. Terry Roberts
drove down from L.A. to attend a planning workshop put on by the
San Diego Association of Governments, or SANDAG. Roberts works
with California’s Air Resources Board, which she says is about to
hand down greenhouse gas reduction targets. Posted.

Greenhouse-Gas Numbers Up In The Air. To control emissions,
countries must first account accurately for their carbon. That
will take considerable effort, reports Jeff Tollefson. The state
of California is about to become a giant playground for more than
200 atmospheric scientists. Beginning this week and extending
into July, aircraft will criss-cross the skies, measuring an
array of greenhouse gases, aerosols and other atmospheric
properties as they fly over cities, industrial facilities and
agricultural areas. Posted.

True Impact on Working People of AB 32 is No Mere Numbers Game.
It's time for an honest discussion about how California's global
warming law (AB 32) will impact jobs in California. Working
people in this state are suffering and they need real answers
about its job impact, not theories, legacy politics and empty
promises. Consider a few grim statistics: The state's
unemployment rate is still above 12 percent. More than 119,000
manufacturing jobs were lost last year. More than 600,000
manufacturing jobs have been lost in this state since 2000.

Gulf Oil Spill: An Energy Crossroads For Obama. The
still-unchecked oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and the
languishing state of the Senate climate bill have combined to
push President Obama's vision for transforming American energy
policy to a crossroads. Obama campaigned on a promise to succeed
where every president since Richard Nixon had failed -- to begin
breaking the United States’ near-half-century of dependence on
foreign oil. Posted.
