California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger said he will tell regulators to require the stateโ€™s petroleum refiners and gasoline sellers to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions by 10 per cent and to have the cuts completed byย 2020.

The order is one of the first examples of a state or national government regulating fuel in passenger vehicles as part of a strategy not only to reduce emissions that contribute to climate change but also dependence on foreign oil, according to The New Yorkย Times.

โ€œOur country has been dependent on foreign oil for too long,โ€ Schwarzenegger said. โ€œI ask you to set to motion the means to free ourselves from oil and from OPEC. I ask you to encourage the free market to overthrow the old order. California has the muscle to bring about such change. I say useย it.โ€
