Vermont-Automakers to wrap up emissions case Monday, VT Defense up next

"Automakers will wind up their case against Vermont's greenhouse gas regulations Monday after nearly 10 days of testimony from industry experts who repeated over and over that car companies cannot reduce emissions 30 percent by 2016 as the state would require."

"Automakers are asking Judge William Sessions to throw out Vermont's adoption of regulations written in California. Vermont is one of 11 states to have followed California's lead; Maryland signed up just last week."

Vermont gets a turn

"The state will call its own automobile cost and technology experts to testify that car companies have the expertise to meet the emissions limits, and can do so for much less money than they estimate."
