The problem with the LCFS is that it nibbles around the edges of
the problem which is massive new CO2 emissions from gasoline and
diesel. Gasoline, by far is the largest single emitter of new CO2
and diesel for large over the road trucks is the 5th largest
emitter. The simplest solution is for the ARB to ban the sale of
any new light duty vehicle in CA that burns gasoline as the primary
fuel (anything >2%) but don't specify what takes gasoline's place.
Leave that decision up to car companies and consumers. Some would
stay with EV's, but most car companies would rapidly convert to
bio-fuel powered vehicles. Leave existing vehicles alone to live
out their lives on gasoline. The same idea would work for large
diesel trucks. No new ones that burn diesel made from crude oil.
This is what we did with DDT, Freon 11, and leaded gasoline. We
banned those materials, allowed current stocks to be used up, and
left the decision on what to replace them with up to producers and
consumers.
