California to cut emissions.
California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a law today aiminng to reduce California's gas emissions by 25% by 2015. California hopes to have other states follow by example. Critics argue, however; that even if California reduces its emmissions, it will not make a difference in the United States total emissions rate.
Finally a state is stepping up to tackle the problem of global warming. I am really glad to see California finally step and say enough is enough and try to do something to slow down global warming. Yes California's emmission reduction may not slow down the United States's total emissions but I believe it is a good first step towards reducing emissions in the United States. I hope that other states will soon follow what California has done and start making laws to reduce their emissions as well. I know it will tremendously difficult for some states but it must be done. We have to slow down global warming and we have to start doing it now before it its to late.
A good first step

Califonia's taking a step in the right direction, but the biggest way for the state (and ultimately, the country) to cut down on emissions is to can the current internal combustion engine and find find better alternatives. An excellent example would be the Hiawatha Light Rail in the Cities. If mass transit could be more widely implimented and utlilized, imagine how far the US would fall in emissions. Yes, our cities aren't very conventional in design, like those of europe, but we could certainly adapt.
