Comment
It seems evidently clear that the dairy industry needs to be a
primary focus in the fight against air and water pollution .  If
you have programs that create incentives for digesters , we will
never achieve the benefits we need .  Dairy and livestock accounts
for more than half of Calif methane emissions .  The generous
amount of subsidies for dairy derived methane will persuade dairies
to expand , adding more cows to produce more manure .  PROFITS OVER
PEOPLE .  Calif has allocated $350 million to build digesters . 
The digester program would undercut the states overarching
environmental goals and the public health priorities .  Biogas is
being falsely marketed as a renewable energy solution to solve the
problems of an already polluting industry.   CARB has the
opportunity to solve the imminent threats of pollution that
pertains directly to dairies .
