Since 2002 California has wished to reduce auto emission of carbon dioxide by 25% but are waiting on EPA approval before the state can implement the new regulations. California's application for a waiver was turned in 16 months ago but the EPA did not begin the evaluation of the application until Tuesday, April 25th.

The EPA claimed that they wished to move cautiously and further excused the delay by stating that the Bush administration has already done a lot to regultate greenhouse gas emissions.
