Schwarzenegger Proposes Change To Emissions Bill

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is seeking changes to a bill that would make California the first state in the nation to cap greenhouse gas emissions from industrial sources.

But Democrats fear Schwarzenegger's requested changes could undermine the effectiveness of the Assembly bill, which would limit emissions from businesses such as power plants and oil refineries. Both sides agree on the basic framework of the bill -- notably the timelines and goals of reducing emissions -- but differ over how to accomplish state targets.
