| Posted at 1:58 PM on 08 May 2008 A long-running disagreement over what should be done with the largest swath of privately owned wilderness in southern California has been settled by a deal between green groups and a developer. Ninety percent of the 270,000-acre Tejon Ranch will be conserved, while 26,000 homes will be permitted on the remaining 10 percent. The Center for Biological Diversity, which was not involved in the truce, exp ... |

California's 'hydrogen highway' runs into roadblocks |

News |
| Posted at 10:53 AM on 02 Apr 2008 Despite California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's executive order four years ago that "hundreds of hydrogen fueling stations" be built in the state, nary a station has been built under the program. Depending on whom you ask, the blame for the sputtering "hydrogen highway" lies with: energy companies and utilities, for not stepping forward to take state matching money to bui ... |

The Suit of Damocles
California sues feds over vehicle-emissions rule |

08 Nov 2007 |
News |
| Posted at 2:04 PM on 08 Nov 2007 After months of tough talk and finger-wagging, the state of California on Thursday filed suit against the U.S. EPA to force a decision on a contentious greenhouse-gas emissions rule. At issue is whether California can enact its own regulations for vehicle emissions, bypassing the feds; it filed a waiver in late 2005 asking for permission to do so, and the EPA has been kicking the idea around e ... |

| Posted at 3:52 PM on 12 Oct 2007 California condors came to the brink of extinction in the 1980s, largely from eating game felled by toxic lead bullets. A recovery effort has proved successful, but attempts to bring condors back into the wild have been frustrated by the birds' continuing poisoned-carrion habit. More than one-third of condors released into the wild in California over the past two decades have died; last year, 14 ... |
