Just look at some of the pictures of beijing today and you can see how horrible the smog is from the cars/mopeds and it's mostly local (I've been there and on bad days the sky has a hazy light brown fog and the air feels very stuffy). By the time it reaches other states, the pollution would scatter and spread out. There's the argument right now that CA is much better now and doesn't need the waiver. In that past this was definitely not true, esp if you look at LA.]]>Mar 4th 2008 7:41PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/04/epa-officially-defends-denial-of-ca-request-to-regulate-emission/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/04/epa-officially-defends-denial-of-ca-request-to-regulate-emission/Mar 5th 2008 1:22PM
