A Different Kind of Comment Card
We don't usually talk politics in the blog, but I was trés annoyed when I heard that the director of the EPA (that's Environmental Protection Agency) said no when CA wanted to make its own cars be eco-friendlier than the national standard. Even though it would only affect Californians, and after EPA experts told the director that CA should be allowed to do it (read more here).
Here's (a slightly modified version of) what went down:
California: We want cars in CA to be cleaner than the federal standard. You cool with that?
EPA director: Nope.
California: Well, can you at least tell us why?
EPA director: Negativo, California.
If you are similarly irritated by this strange behavior, you can send your own comment card to EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson here.
