Comment	As the top consumer of Amazon oil, California is driving new oil drilling in the region. With national protests happening in Ecuador right now calling on protection of the Amazon and Indigenous rights, it’s time for our state government to take action and stop driving up the demand for crude oil. Specifically, California must: 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 California’s 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. The current scoping plan from CARB has plans to double fossil fuel infrastructure in the state while also continuing to import Amazon oil. That is wrong and must not be allowed to happen. Any climate change plans going forward should restrict fossil fuel expansion – domestically and globally. CARB can require refineries to put Indigenous rights screens in place and mechanisms to ensure that oil will not be sourced from new drilling in the Amazon.
