California motorists are already paying $1.50 more per gallon for
gasoline than the national average
price of the other 47 continental states. It is with this in mind
that we write you again with serious
concerns about the proposed amendments to the Low-Carbon Fuels
Standard (LCFS) program that will
drive up fuel prices.
We regret that the California Air Resources Board (CARB) refuses to
release any analysis of how its
proposed LCFS amendments will affect gas prices in California.
As Los Angeles Times columnist George Skelton wrote over the
weekend:
"A year ago the air board (CARB) estimated that the new regulation
could raise gas prices by 47 cents a
gallon because of refinery costs passed on the consumers. A
separate study placed the pump cost
much higher - 65 cents a gallon. Now the air board has backed off
its 47-cent price hike estimate. And
it refuses to offer a revised forecast . . . So an unelected bunch
of regulators can arbitrarily adopt new
rules without weighing the costs to consumers? Doesn't seem right.
Seems a bit irresponsible and
arrogant."
We concur with Skelton's assessment that CARB is being
irresponsible at the expense of everyday
Californians struggling with the affordability of basic needs. You
need to Stop This Attack On CA. Citizens. You Already Steal To much
Money From us And Waste it!                       
Sincerely, Bob
