I writing to remind CARB
that any climate change plans going forward should restrict fossil
fuel expansion domestically and
globally.
Rogue refineries n out f to be
curbed. Commit California to a policy/regulatory agenda that
ensures that California refineries are not sourcing crude from
regions where there are Indigenous rights violations or from
regions where new oil drilling in the Amazon is being
planned.
Present a
plan for California to reduce and/or eliminate its consumption of
crude from the Amazon so as not to punt climate impacts to communities in the
Amazon.
Commit California to new fuel efficiency
standards and expanded electrification of fleets that consume
the most Amazon oil. Expansion of EVs broadly, and public
transportation goals to reduce domestic consumption equivalent to
Amazon oil import totals.
