later today the california resources board will vote and probably pass the new standards for fuel much to the grumbling. oil companies but governor brown doesn't care, he stays we are going forward! if it passes, it will be the first of its kind in the country requiring a 10% cut in carbon emissions on transportation fuel sold in the state. this 10% cut must happen by 2020. here's the rub to the oil industry. not only does the 10% cut have to happen with the fuel itself but also applies to the factories and the oil rigs. this cut even applies to the tanker trucks used to deliver the fuel to gas stations everywhere. it's dubbed as a cut that applies from, quote, wheel to the well. oil companies that fall below the baseline can sell credit back to other companies. the idea being to encourage greater use of biofuels and electric vehicles. all this, of course, will likely raise gas prices for drivers by a few cents per gallon. that amounts to roughly an extra $5 to $21 a year by 2017. and then by 2020, you will pay an extra $12 to $48 a year. the oil industry has tried fighting this one sa

data that while we were collecting our data independently, we had colleagues from the california resourc resources board that were using the same three vehicles that we had, and testing them in a test much like would be used to do the certification testing, and we were seeing quite a disperty between the two emission levels produced by the vehicles. about a year later we made a public presentation in conjunction with icte the public forum, and we were questioned about some of the results, and we provided feedback from those. to be honest with you it had been roughly a year since we had heard anything. we assumed this had been taken care of through voluntary recall, and hadn't really kept close track until friday when we got notification from the epa and their resources board providing information that said that the review had been brought on early on and presented the results. and the world wind of media started, and here we are now. >> here we are now. difficult for you to answer this because i know that everything that we have here is based on some very specific research. this could be something that

were alerted to what was going on by the icct which mentioned it to the epa and also the california air resources boardcan go back to that graphic, it was then in april of this year that vw started issuing some recalls in california. the regulator says this was one of the fixes they were offering at the time but it clearly didn't work. in other words, there is at least a six-month period, there is more likely a one-year period in which vw was talking to the regulators on the west coast and it didn't work. whatever they offered, vw couldn't get out of its hole and then their band jacked by that announcement on friday. it's no surprise to me the head of vw usa is out because that is one of the critical failures here. one wonders if it's a similar arrogance you got from jpmorgan and jamie dimon when they belittled what was going on, they didn't meet the regulators halfway and the result was they were stung very badly. that's what regulators do if you push them into a corner. >> temp pest in a teapot was the phrase mr. dimon used back then. >> much bigger than that. >> what you're saying is negotiations ha
