I am concerned that California
consumes nearly 50% of all oil exports from the Amazon globally
(nearly 1 in 9 gallons pumped in-state on average). California Air
Resources Board (CARB), I don’t want to be complicit in
driving new oil drilling in the Amazon. There is a need for
regulating refineries’ crude sources and volumes. Require
California refineries to ensure that they are not sourcing crude
oil from regions where there are human rights violations.
Additionally, require refineries to ensure that they will not
source crude from areas of new drilling in the Amazon.
Thank you.
