California (and the California Air Resource Board) has arguably some of the strictest air pollution/quality restrictions and if Gov. Schwarzennegger had his way, the state would be among the toughest in the world but I think the EPA said he was nuts and stopped him from forcing more efficient cars and stiffer emission regulations. Ironic coming from the man who bought his own fleet of Hummers (which he purportedly converted to biofuels)
It's one of the biggest reasons/excuses why many overseas vehicles cannot be driven in the USA -- they wouldn't pass the emissions limits.
