California has approved stringent new rules to cut greenhouse gas emissions from cars which will require car makers to put many more electric and hybrid vehicles on the State's roads by 2025.
The regulations were approved unanimously the state's air-quality regulator, the California Air Resources Board and are expected to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 34 percent and smog and soot pollutants by 75 percent by 2025, in part by putting 1.4 million electric, plug-in and hydrogen vehicles on the state's roads. The programme would also mandate the development of an infrastructure for hydrogen fueling stations. "Californians have always loved their cars ... Now we're going to have cleaner and more efficient cars to love," CARB Chairman Mary Nichols said (quoted by Planet Ark) on a conference call with reporters following the vote. "This really is a historic new chapter in California's history with the automobile."
