Hello,
As a California voter I'd like to see California make these
commitments for the future:
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. Expansion of EVs broadly, and public transportation goals to
reduce domestic consumption equivalent to Amazon oil import
totals.
-
I'm concerned that California consumes nearly 50% of all oil
exports from the Amazon globally (nearly 1 in 9 gallons pumped
in-state on average).
California Air
Resources Board (CARB). I don’t want to be complicit in
driving new oil drilling in the Amazon and that they need to
regulate refineries’ crude sources and volumes.
CARB should
require California refineries to ensure that they are not sourcing
crude oil from regions where there are human rights violations and
to require refineries to ensure that they will not source crude
from areas of new drilling in the Amazon
