The Economics of AB32

California now has a formal strategy for the nation's most sweeping attack on climate change. The playbook for the state's Global Warming Solutions Act was accepted by the Air Resources Board yesterday. The law is the state's master plan for cutting greenhouse gas emissions from cars, power plants and factories. But questions linger as to whether the law known as AB32 is itself sustainable. Reporter: Craig Miller


Diesel Emissions Battle

Truckers arrived in Sacramento in force yesterday, upset over a new rule that would require all diesel trucks and buses on California roads to retrofit their engines and meet lower emission standards. For Californians, that means cleaner, safer air. For truckers, it means shelling out about $5 billion to fix their rigs. Reporter: David Gorn
