Capitol Alert

Greener than thou

Today is Earth Day and the Los Angeles Times has a fun story about the race to be green between San Francisco and Los Angeles.

Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa has a plan to slash his city's planet-warming greenhouse gases to 35% below the 1990 level by 2030, and make L.A. the "cleanest and greenest city in the country."

San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom has a blueprint to cut his city's greenhouse gases to 20% below the 1990 level by 2012, creating "the greenest large city in the United States of America."

As the story asks, "Mirror, mirror on the wall: Who is the greenest of them all?"
