Great news, btw. Good for California.

And I see it didn't take you too long to post your typical criticisms of people without adding anything to the discussion.

CA is a major west coast port of entry and consumer of goods from China. Kind of reminds me of Enron accounting. Look how more prosperous we are and we've cut pollution too!

Totally false. I'll let you do the research. SMOG checks, banned 2 strokes.

Those products you speak of are still being produced but are not for use in California, far more efficient models are though. The negatives were not "outsourced" to other locations. California's air got cleaner due to regulation. Plain and simple.
