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.

Putting Down Roots Ousted L.A. gardeners continue to farm		28 Apr 2008	News
Posted at 3:17 PM on 28 Apr 2008 In June 2006, a land dispute led to the shutdown of the South Central Community Garden in Los Angeles. Weeks of protest and tree-sitting by celebrities and regular folk proved unfruitful, and the 14-acre garden, tended by 350 low-income families in the middle of one of L.A.'s poorest neighborhoods, was bulldozed. Nearly two years later, with legal wrangling over the land's ownership ongoing, the gardeners ...

The Moth-Ban Prophecies Bay Area escapes aerial spraying, for now		25 Apr 2008	News
Posted at 10:48 AM on 25 Apr 2008 A plan to spray Santa Cruz County with synthetic pheromones must be postponed until an environmental review is completed, a county judge ruled Thursday. The spraying, an attempt by agriculture officials to curb the invasion of the crop-gobbling light brown apple moth, was to begin in Santa Cruz County in June and expand to seven other Bay Area counties in August. But many of the 7 million resident ...

By Our Power Combined California utilities scuffle over cap-and-trade		21 Apr 2008	News
Posted at 8:42 AM on 21 Apr 2008 California is well aware that reducing greenhouse-gas emissions is easier said than done. The state's attempts to craft an effective cap-and-trade system are causing infighting among public utilities and their privately owned counterparts. Public utilities, which source more of their power from coal, protest that they're going to end up paying out the nose to the state and seeing the money red ...

Dusk to Spawn California bars salmon fishing in state waters		16 Apr 2008	News
Posted at 1:29 PM on 16 Apr 2008 California Fish and Game officials voted Tuesday to bar commercial salmon fishing in state waters, in what was, according to one commissioner, "one of the most painful votes I think we've ever taken." Fishing in federal waters off the California coast was banned last week. Next month, state officials are likely to bar recreational salmon fishing in Central Valley rivers as well. Californians ...

Highway to Nowhere California's 'hydrogen highway' runs into roadblocks		02 Apr 2008	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 ...

What's the Opposite of Ambition? Fewer zero-emission vehicles will be required on California roads by 2014		27 Mar 2008	News
Posted at 5:01 PM on 27 Mar 2008 California's Air Resources Board has voted to reduce the number of zero-emissions vehicles required to be sold in the state by 2014 from 25,000 to 7,500. It's a hefty reduction, though less dramatic than the recommendation by CARB staff that the requirement be cut to 2,500 vehicles. Not-quite-zero-but-still-relatively-less-emissions vehicles, like plug-in h ...

Posted at 10:35 AM on 27 Mar 2008 Two large solar-power projects were proposed in Southern California this week that together could provide up to 500 megawatts of power, just over half the state's current solar capacity and enough to provide electricity to about 300,000 homes.

From 60 to Zero California board to vote on requiring fewer zero-emission vehicles		26 Mar 2008	News
Posted at 6:54 AM on 26 Mar 2008 On Thursday, the California Air Resources Board will vote on whether to require fewer zero-emissions vehicles on the state's roads in coming years.

Off the Hook Salmon fishing season in California and Oregon may be canceled		12 Mar 2008	News
Posted at 4:49 PM on 12 Mar 2008 So few salmon are swimming in California and Oregon that salmon fishing season is likely to be canceled completely unless an emergency exemption is granted, according to the federal Pacific Fishery Management Council.

Pointed Defiance Bill introduced in House to overturn EPA's California decision		07 Mar 2008	News
Posted at 11:43 AM on 07 Mar 2008 A bill introduced Thursday in the House of Representatives would grant California the right to regulate greenhouse-gas emissions from vehicles, and pave the way for 12 other states to do the same. The U.S. EPA's decision to keep California from regulating car GHG emissions "defied the science, defied the states, and defied common sense," said bill cosponsor Peter Welch (D-V ...
