I wonder if Mr. Waxman has been lobbying our California governor? He could request that our states' executive department transition to alternative fuel vehicles to help with air quality.

Our state, could request financial assistance from the general government of the Union to promote and provide for the general Welfare of the United States, by implementing better waste water management systems that are capable of processing industrial wastes, instead of venting them into the atmosphere.

Also, since fire season is around the corner, making available California Guard transport craft and ensuring water cargo capability could help prevent more pollution and limit property losses and associated costs. Future Guard cargo capable aircraft could employ modular systems that incorporate fire suppressing capability as a multi-role function. In-flight resupply of water or other fire suppressant material could be a possible consideration that could be factored into the design of new craft.
