| Comment | Biofuels produced from virgin soy or canola oil have major negative consequences, including deforestation, and incentivizing industrial agriculture that generates large amounts of greenhouse gas and other pollution, and drives up food prices. The proposed revision acknowledges such problems, but continues to provide credits for the production of biofuels that include up to 20 percent from these destructive sources. And even this weak restraint will not take effect until 2028. Environmental justice advocates have repeatedly called instead for caps on vegetable-oil based biofuels. |
