It has come to my attention that California consumes nearly 50% of all oil
exports from the Amazon globally (nearly 1 in 9 gallons pumped
in-state on average).
It is
my position that the state of California should not be complicit
in driving new oil drilling in the Amazon.
I call on
CARB to require California refineries to ensure that they are not
sourcing crude oil from regions where such sourcing will result in
human rights violations, and I call on CARB to require refineries
to ensure that they will not source crude from areas of new
drilling in the Amazon.
Thank
you.
