Subject | Mine Methane Capture Protocol |
Comment | The State of California’s Global Warming Solutions Act’s proposed Mine Methane Capture Protocol has extremely strong potential to become a major driver of national and international coal mining and fossil fuel extraction in Indigenous Peoples’ and non-Indigenous lands, as well as profiteering and increased environmental degradation. The Protocol purports to be about the environmentally motivated capture and destruction of methane for offsets. However, it actually incentivizes and subsidizes the development of additional and potentially major coal mining and natural gas extraction operations, including flaring and burning, in existing and future coal and trona[2] mine areas. It represents not just business-as-usual for the fossil fuel industries, but a future increase in fossil fuel extraction, with expansions in extent, production, output, and infrastructure, including refineries and pipelines, together with permits to pollute even more. Please cancel the proposed Mine Methane Capture Protocol. Offsets and carbon trading are a false solution to climate change and must be excluded from California’s Global Warming Solutions Act AB32. Sincerely, Jeanne Bulla |
