Automotive Trade Group Hopes to Keep Colorado From Following California's ZEV Rules

It’s no secret that California plans to ignore any federal ruling that soften emissions regulations on automobiles. The state’s already suing the Environmental Protection Agency and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration over the data used to justify the Trump administration’s proposed rollback of vehicle emission standards.

Interesting, but a terrible value IMO.
