A California federal appeals court has rejected the Bush administration’s fuel-economy standards for trucks and SUVs. On Thursday, a three-judge panel struck down the year-old regulations after ruling they don’t go far enough to limit the vehicles’ damaging contribution to global warming. The court has ordered the Transportation Department to produce new rules. The regulations were challenged by a coalition of environmental groups and 13 states and cities.
