and the state of California isn't happy about it.
Wednesday, California, or someone possibly acting on its behalf (state Attorney General Bill Lockyer?), filed a lawsuit against 6 automakers stating that...
"The injuries have caused the people to suffer billions of dollars in damages, including millions of dollars of funds expended to determine the extent, location and nature of future harm and to prepare for and mitigate those harms, and billions of dollars of current harm to the value of flood control infrastructure and natural resources,".
Citing greenhouse gas emissions as the primary culprit, the lawsuit comes a month after California passes a law forcing industries to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 25%.
The six companies cited in the lawsuit are General Motors, Ford, DaimlerChrysler AG, Toyota, Honda and Nissan. Ironically, stocks in the six companies had increased in value by the end of the day.
