| Subject | why exempt workover rigs? |
| Comment |
The current draft proposal exempts oilfield drilling and workover rigs, presumably because it would be difficult to build or buy a zero emission drilling vehicle. But state policy, reflected in a raft of statutes, regulations, and executive order is contrary. In countless ways, California law seeks to replace petroleum with alternative fuels. See, e.g., Public Resources Code 25000.5. The Governor's Executive Order N-79-20 directs CARB to protect Californians from the impacts of petroleum fuel use, by phasing out the sale of internal combustion vehicles, and directs CalGEM to more vigorously protect Californians from the impacts of oil extraction. The State having identified petroleum as the problem, why do we want to make it easier or less expensive to pollute our air while extracting a product -- oil -- that is targeted for replacement?? |
