California clean-vehicle goals may be cut

All those tree huggers that spend more money on luxury watches than you probably do on your food may be in for some bad news.

Samantha Young writing for the AP reported that California air regulators on Thursday were considering a major cutback to the state's clean-vehicle program, a move that would delay a large deployment of battery-powdered and hydrogen vehicles.

The decision also will affect efforts to promote zero-emission vehicles in 12 other states.

Tree huggers unite.
