| Comment | The latest proposed LCFS revision does not go far enough to reform
the program. CARB should phase out support for vegetable-oil-based
biofuels produced from virgin oil, since the expansion of
agricultural lands for biofuel production has large negative
climate impacts. CARB must phase out support for biomethane, which
is propping up the expansion of polluting factory farms. And the
latest proposal leaves airlines off the hook for combustion of jet
fuel.
Accounting tricks aside, the lowest-carbon fuel is clean
zero-emission electricity. Ultimately, CARB should phase out
subsidies for fuels that do not meet this high standard.
