Woodward Las Cruces, NM – Tuesday night the New Mexico
Environmental Improvement Board, and the Albuquerque-Bernalillo
Air Quality Control Board voted to impose Clean Car standards on
all new cars, SUV's and trucks sold in the state starting in
model year 2011. This makes New Mexico the 13th state in the
Union to adopt the standards, which will help curb air pollution
and global warming. As KRWG's Evan Woodward reports, the
adoption of this program means that by 2016 new cars sold in the
state will emit 34 percent less global warming emissions.
