Steve,
I was talking with someone the other day who just moved to Charlotte, NC from a small town in Virginia. We started discussing global warming and smog checks for all vehicles. He said in his town they don't have that requirement, but in Richmond, they do.
What is being done to get every state ENTIRELY compliant with this action. I'm sure Virginia isn't the only state that doesn't mandate smog certificates for their vehicles. Every governor should be made to comply, and held responsible, with this law statewide, not just regionally.
How can the United States sound the horn about global warming and what needs to be done if we are speaking from both sides of our mouths? What an embarrassment it is if we ignore the very simple measures to eliminate greenhouse gasses with a simple task as this. Every step we take will help, but ignorance should not be tolerated.
Thank you for your work.
