| Subject | Do NOT include factory farm gas in the Cal 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. I ask that factory farm gas not be eligible for inclusion in the Low Carbon Fuel Standard. Thank you. |
