Chairperson Nichols,

I personally urge you to move forward with the Low Carbon Fuel
Standard. I appreciate your leadership in this area. In addition to
helping California meet our greenhouse gas reduction goals, the
LCFS will help to improve air quality and public health by reducing
our dependence on petroleum fuels.

Reducing petroleum consumption through the LCFS is an important
strategy for fighting global warming and improving our air quality.


The Low Carbon Fuel Standard provides the greatest benefit to
California by:

- promoting the development and rapid deployment of a new
generation of ultra-low carbon fuels, such as hydrogen and
electricity;

- accounting for the direct and indirect land use changes
associated with the production low-carbon fuels; and

- ensuring ongoing reviews of air quality and other community
health impacts associated with the introduction of new fuels and
fuel production facilities in California.

Along with the American Lung Association of California, I urge you
to proceed with the adoption of a strong, sustainable Low Carbon
Fuel Standard without delay, to improve air quality for all
Californians.
