| Comment | Dear Air Resources Board, Thank you for this update on the proposed strategy for achieving our 2030 GHG targets. I am concerned that a refinery that chooses to process oil derived from tar sands -- the excavation and processing of which releases 37 times more GHGs than typical oil -- does not see a direct consequence of this decision in the cap and trade market, because the market is based on end smokestack emissions alone, regardless of source, yet clearly some sources are vastly more harmful to the atmosphere than others. Is there a way to account for incredible cradle to grave GHG emissions of the fuel source? California needs a strong enough cap and trade system that refineries choosing to process tar sands oil will need to pay vastly more into the market, given the true GHG cost. Thank you, Al Davis Mountain View |
