Please ensure that any climate change plans going forward should
restrict fossil fuel expansion by doing the following:
- Rein in rogue
refineries. 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.
- Don't punt your climate
impacts to communities in the Amazon. Present a plan
for California to reduce and/or eliminate its consumption of crude
from 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.
