Now In New Jersey: California Auto Emissions Standards
Football Betting Spread New Jersey adopted California's tougher car emissions standards on Monday, hoping to clean up the state's polluted skies by mandating the sale of thousands of high-tech, cleaner-burning vehicles.
Ontario's new emission standards will be the most stringent in North America, duty vehicle programs in Arizona, California, New Jersey, Washington and 11 other states.
>Commodity Spread Trading The Legislature overwhelmingly approved the measure on the last day of its lame-duck session, giving environmental groups what they called their biggest victory in the air pollution fight in more than a decade.
The New Jersey Greenhouse Gas Action Plan calls for reducing the state's GHG emissions to 3.5% below 1990 levels by 2005. Will we reach that goal Athena Sarafides (NJDEP) will speak about the state's programs to reduce GHG emissions, how much impact they have, and how far they will take us towards our target. Emily Rusch (NJPIRG) will speak about bills now under consideration in the state legislature that would further reduce New Jersey's energy consumption and GHG emissions and the prospects for their passage this year.
Nfl Betting Spread "It's a huge victory for folks that suffer from asthma and all New Jerseyans, given that we are all potential victims of cancer risks from automobile emissions," said David Pringle, campaign manager for the New Jersey Environment Federation. "The biggest part of this program is that it pushes the auto industry to produce the cleanest cars better, faster, and cheaper."
Environmentalists here and in the United States said the Canadian pact may undercut an auto industry lawsuit against California's greenhouse gas emission reduction program. "The same automakers who are suing California over its clean car standards are agreeing to essentially the same level of reductions in Canada, " said Jason Mark, the clean vehicles director for the Union of Concerned Scientists in Berkeley, Calif.
Advanced Commodity Spread Automakers and dealers in New Jersey fought a fierce fight against the proposal, however, and kept up their criticism on Monday. The measure, which kicks in in 2009, would force the industry to sell hundreds of thousands of vehicles that consumers haven't shown much interest in, they complained.
# burning power plants. Stricter emission standards for automakers, to cut pollution from cars, trucks, and SUVs. Unfortunately, that's not the case. Without a federally mandated approach to cleaner smokestacks and tailpipes, New Jersey has little chance of complying with the tougher new standards by a deadline that's less than 10 years away. And if it doesn't comply, it ultimately could lose federal highway money and have trouble getting federal approvals needed for many new industrial projects.
Betting Exchange Spread "It's a sad day for the auto industry and auto consumers," said Jim Appleton, executive director of the New Jersey Coalition of Auto Retailers, a dealers' group. "It supplants government decision-making for the marketplace and requires the industry to waste millions of dollars chasing a goofy California mandate when they could be investing that money in [research and development] for cars people want."

Stock Spread Trading A spokesman said Governor McGreevey would sign the bill into law.
Online Spread Betting What the bill means for car buyers depends on which side does the accounting. Appleton said the price of other cars could go up, or rebates and other incentives could dry up, if dealers have to subsidize the sales of gas-electric hybrids, low-emission cars run on gasoline, and other vehicles.
Complete Guide Spread Trading Supporters said the program would make it easier and cheaper to find hybrids like the popular Toyota Prius as manufacturers build more of them under the mandates of the plan. Extra Priuses and other vehicles could start rolling into showrooms soon, Pringle argued, because auto companies can get credits for cars sold today to apply to the mandates that begin in five years.
Betting Horse Racing Spread The cleaner-burning cars, meanwhile, would mean better health for New Jerseyans suffering from asthma, heart and lung problems, and other ailments linked to the state's poor air quality. Federal experts estimate that more than 600,000 New Jerseyans may suffer from asthma, a disease that results in 14,000 hospital visits annually.
Low Spread Forex Trading After years of debate and lobbying, supporters said their cause was helped last month when the federal Environmental Protection Agency declared New Jersey out of compliance with federal smog standards that go into effect this year. New Jersey's automobiles contribute about 40 percent of the pollution that clouds New Jersey's skies, the supporters noted.
Sport Spread Betting Environmental groups estimated the new standards would cut smog-forming pollution by more than 20 percent by 2020 and reduce toxic air emissions linked to cancer by 23 percent. The vote was the most important since the Legislature tightened smokestack standards on factories 14 years ago, the groups said.
Trading Spread And Seasonals Each side interprets the California quotas differently. Supporters said they would require that about 160,000 low-emissions automobiles be sold in the state starting in 2009. Appleton said the number could be almost 250,000 - nearly half the number of cars sold in the state last year.
Arbitrage Spread Trading At least 2,700 zero-emissions cars - likely powered by hydrogen and fuel cells - would have to be sold by 2012. The cars are not on the market, but automakers have plans to develop them. The bill allows New Jersey to pull out of the program if the technology isn't ready by then.
