Subject | Factory Farm Gas in California's Fuel Standards |
Comment | Dear Board Members, I'm against including factory farm gas in California's Low Carbon Fuel Standard. This will not be a positive solution for our climate crisis. One of the main reasons to nix factory farm gas from the standard is that it will encourage more large factory farms, making it harder for small family farms to prosper while these corporate farms push down market prices with overproduction. More issues with this bill include the fact that multinational large meatpackers will be paid for their pollution, and the bill will create incentives via government subsidies to support anaerobic digesters for factory farm gas. This would add more factory farms which will lead to more methane, more water and air pollution, more corporate consolidation. I'm in the Midwest and know this will not lead to less carbon release in our atmosphere. Please strike this portion of the amendments. Thank you for allowing comments. |
