Subject | STOP FUNDING BIOGAS |
Comment | Dear Governor Newsom and Members of the California Air Resources Board (CARB), As a California resident, I am writing to urge you to stop using taxpayer dollars to fund factory farm biogas projects, which threaten the well-being of animals, people, and the planet. Funding biogas production under the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) incentivizes the consolidation and growth of the notoriously harmful factory farming industry. Every year, this industry forces billions of animals to suffer in unimaginably cruel conditions. It generates air, water, and methane pollution that entrench fossil fuel interests and accelerate the climate crisis. And it increases rates of high blood pressure, respiratory conditions, and waterborne illnesses for local communities. To begin addressing these substantial harms, I implore you to implement the following reforms to the LCFS: 1. Eliminate "avoided methane crediting" in 2024. 2. Address inaccuracies in the Life Cycle Assessment that ignore associated up and downstream greenhouse gas emissions from factory farm gas production. 3. Remove the 10-year "grace period" for factory farm gas producers. 4. Stop double counting by allowing factory farm gas projects paid for and claimed by other programs to sell LCFS credits as well. The future of our communities and shared environment is in your hands. Please reform LCFS to create a safer, healthier home for all Californians. Thank you for your time and consideration Best, Victoria Fisher-Briggs North Hills, CA 91343 |
