California Lowers Auto Emissions Rule

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- California regulators have drastically cut the number of zero-emission vehicles required to be sold in the state by the year 2014, a decision that frustrated environmentalists but came as a relief to auto manufacturers, according to the Associated Press.
The rules adopted Thursday put the number of electric and hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles that automakers sell in California at 7,500 by 2014 - a 70 percent reduction from the 2003 target.
