CA's Emissions Nuisance Lawsuit Tossed

The judiciary got this one right. A lawsuit by the attorney general of California that wanted to claim that auto emissions were a nuisance has been thrown out of court.

As I said when this suit was filed, this was a huge waste of taxpayer dollars that would result in nothing. There was no legal merit to alleging that by following the emissions laws of the state auto companies were creating a nuisance.

While California has been leading the nation in most of their auto emissions policies, they got this one wrong, and it is good that the state will now focus on things like improving fuel economy.
