SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger says pressure from the auto industry will not deter California from attempting to impose strict emission rules for vehicles sold in the state.
The Republican governor made the comments after a private meeting Thursday with board members of the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers.
The trade group is pushing back against California rules intended to reduce greenhouse gas emissions as part of the state's wider effort to address global warming.
The state wants emissions to be cut by nearly one-third for all vehicles sold here by 2016. That's four years earlier than similar emission rules proposed by the federal government.
Car manufacturers say the California benchmark can't be met on time.
