CLEANING THE AIR IN A RECESSION. California’s historic greenhouse gas emissions law is being fought tooth-and-nail by businesses, which are funding a ballot initiative to delay the law until the state cuts its unemployment rate in half. Even so, the law, known as AB 32, has created a snowball effect nationwide, sparking emissions regulations in other states and national rulings to lower ozone standards.
