| Comment | Including factory farm gas in California's Low Carbon Fuel Standard
would:
*Incentivize more corporate factory farms, harming family farmers,
rural communities, and our environment.
*Create more corporate consolidation in the U.S. livestock
industry.
*Commoditize methane production, which would fuel more methane
producing practices.
*Create additional overproduction of commodities, pork and milk,
increasing supply and further pushing down market prices paid to
independent family farms.
*Pay foreign multinational meatpackers, like Chinese-owned
Smithfield and Brazilian-owned JBS, for their pollution.
*Create incentives for the public (taxpayer dollars through
government subsidies) to fund anaerobic digesters to capture
factory farm gas.
I ask that factory farm gas not be eligible for inclusion in the
Low Carbon Fuel Standard.
Thank you.
