| Comment | Including factory farm gas in California's Low Carbon Fuel Standard
would:
• Incentivize more corporate factory farms, harming family farmers,
rural communities, and our environment.
• Create more corporate consolidation in the U.S. livestock
industry.
• Commoditize methane production, which would fuel more methane
producing practices.
• Create additional overproduction of commodities, pork and milk,
increasing supply and further pushing down market prices paid to
independent family farms.
• Pay foreign multinational meatpackers, like Chinese-owned
Smithfield and Brazilian-owned JBS, for their pollution.
• Create incentives for the public (taxpayer dollars through
government subsidies) to fund anaerobic digesters to capture
factory farm gas.
Again, this is a bad idea for humans, other-than-human animals, and
the planet!
