Subject | Do not include CAFO gas in California's Low Carbon Fuel Standard |
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! |
