Subject | AB32 MUST NOT PASS |
Comment | This legislation must be stopped. Representatives of the mining and fossil fuel industries have contributed heavily to the protocol's drafting, dictating its terms. State of California's Global Warming Solutions Act's (AB32) has the very strong potent 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 is said to be about environmentally motivated methane capture and destruction for methane 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 in coal and trona mine areas. It represents not just business-as-usual for 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 more. This hydraulic fracturing on steroids and must NOT pass. |
