Does Cleaning the Air Mean Curbing Your Driving?

Can California cut gasoline usage in half in just 15 years? That's the goal of SB 350, a greenhouse gas reduction measure that easily passed the State Senate early this year. Then the oil companies came after it with a vengeance — including a massive TV campaign. Now it's in trouble in the Assembly. Would it really limit how much you can drive your car? Would you be penalized for driving too often?

Also, after one year as publisher of the LA Times, Austin Beutner has been fired.
