I am opposed to the expansion of oil drilling in the Amazon
River basin. The drilling causes damage to a ecologically
sensitive region on which the entire planet is dependent. The
drilling is contrary to California's goal of reducing dependence on
fossil fuels and of converting to electrical power. The
drilling tramples over the rights of indigenous peoples who have
been living in the Amazon basic since before the beginning of
recorded history.
California always has been the leader in environmental
issues. It is important that the CARB continue on this
path.
