Comment:
This is an excerpt from a comment submitted by Communities for a Better Environment for the AB32 scoping plan. This part of the comment relates to LCFS and so is posted here in addition to AB32 Scoping Plan comments page. The extrapolation follows: 5. A cornerstone of Transportation emissions controls in the Plan -- the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) – will increase greenhouse gases, and will severely increase smog, water pollution, worldwide food shortages, increased food prices, and damage to wildlife. This increase is due to the LCFS‘s dependence on corn ethanol (now acknowledged in the LCFS to cause increased greenhouse gases), and the failure to prevent switches to heavy crude oil at oil refineries. The switch to heavy crude oil is happening now but will drastically increase unless the Scoping Plan addresses it.
