Truckers have known for some time that the California Air Resources Board isn’t messing around when it comes to emissions.

Now a large retail chain has found out about the state agency’s commitment to cutting emissions.

CARB recently announced it had fined Rite Aid Corporation $340,000 for violating the state’s clean air regulations. The company allegedly had sold windshield washer fluid that is specially formulated for colder, mountainous areas. Because the fluid was sold throughout the state, its use contributed to ozone creation in the state’s lower and warmer regions.

“California’s retail stores are responsible for assuring that the products they sell complies with our anti-smog regulations,” said Mary Nichols, CARB chairman.

Rite Aid was found to have sold more than 10,000 gallons of noncompliant product between 2003 and 2007, even after CARB requested they stop selling and stocking the product.
See they are not messing around out there...

Commitment to cutting emmisions? Yeah... that's it.

This is nothing more than revenuing... disguised as environmental protection.

I suppose that because Jack Daniels contains alcohol, as well, that CARB can fine you for selling it... when the purchaser decides to use it as windshield washing fluid?

Don't think it can happen?

Until people come to their senses, all the fines and other fees charged by CARB will be added to the cost of retail items. Getting rid of CARB and CAL-EPA would do wonders for restoring the economy. Not only that, but the Al-Gaia Guys would have to find some other sacred redwood groves to worship.
