The Anti-California: Texas Republicans Fight EPA Over Climate Change

For decades, California has set the pace for the country on air pollution and climate change, adopting ever-higher standards for controlling auto emissions and, more recently, greenhouse gases that scientists say have led to global warming.

Now, California's dominance is being challenged -- under attack from another mega-state that wants to displace California by calling for a freeze of the status quo instead of a move toward tighter controls.

In effect, Texas is staking out a role as the anti-California.
