States have the right to impose their own regulatory standards.

The challenges of maintaining environmental standards in Montana are way different than maintaining environmental standards in SoCal.
I said that the air quality has improved over the decades, but they still have the worst air quality in the nation. How is that incorrect?
Better is nice, but they still come in last place and last place sucks, what do they want a participation trophy?
The only thing that can make them not last place is lots of electrics.
Then every other state has been able to clean up their sky's better and faster with out imposing their own standards.
