“Now, I heard one of my colleagues earlier today say that California was imposing its standards on everybody else. Now that's just not the case. For decades now, California has had a right to set its own air quality standards. That right was given by statute. But other states have chosen to Follow California's lead. They weren't required to. They weren't forced to. They chose to. They chose for their constituents to have air as clean as what California was striving to achieve.” (22:58–23:06)
