Let's get the Greener Than Thou thoroughly out of our systems, shall we? Yesterday, Mayor Gavin Newsom signed a (somewhat controversial) bill mandating that the city's entire cab fleet be converted to low-emission vehicles by 2011. Cabbies will also be required to shell out an extra $5 per shift in order to pick up the slack; the city claims they'll recoup the funds by saving on gas costs. Drivers? Not happy. [SF Gate]
