As a long-time California resident, I urge you to commit California to a
policy/regulatory agenda that ensures that California refineries
are NOT sourcing crude from regions where new oil drilling in the
Amazon is being planned. California consumes the most Amazon
basin oil and that consumption needs to be curtailed drastically
and then stopped altogether.
Make
plans for California to reduce and/or eliminate its
consumption of crude from the Amazon, by commiting California to new fuel efficiency
standards and expanded
electrification of fleets that consume the most Amazon oil. Reduce domestic
consumption equivalent to Amazon oil import totals.
Respectfully,
Mary Steele, a Californian
