Canada considering adoption of California's AB 1493 regulations

In what could be a twist in the way Auto Companies take on AB 1493, Canada is considering using the same proposal to lower it's greenhouse gas emissions.

Canada considers curbs on emissions - 11/07/04: "The moves in Canada could have serious implications for major automakers. If Canada were to adopt California's restrictions on tailpipe emissions - and a bloc of Northeastern states matched the effort as they have pledged to do - the auto industry would be forced to build more fuel-efficient vehicles for more than one-third of the North American market."

California, Northeast and Canada together could force the change in the American fuel economy standards!
