....The Bush administration — which has rejected the international Kyoto Protocol emissions-reduction treaty — reacted tepidly to word of the California push. "The states are free to make their own decisions about their policies," said Kristen Hellmer, a spokeswoman for the White House Council on Environmental Quality.
