Why not go back to the drawing board and reconfigure the LCFS to be based on EV deployment and not more out of state biofuels? why not make LCFS “zero carbon fuel standard” and dedicate all credits toward EVs? (Most know the answer to that). #LCFS

A targeted program could fund mass transit & equitable electrification at lower cost, but required restricting bogus windfall profits for Big Ag/Big Oil. Instead, the program transfers wealth from drivers to polluting industries, but EVs are portrayed as the justification.

.@AirResources leaned on ZEV funding to defend this vote. It's disingenuous. For 3 years, EJ and academics gave CARB a path to *increase* the program's ZEV support while making the program less regressive, and rely less on fuels that starve the Global South. They refused.

The long line of environmental justice group members continues to voice their opposition, noting this program does not do enough to actually cut pollution. Some have noted, with Trump taking office today, CARB/California must do more to seriously reduce emissions.

So far last handful of public commenters are from environmental justice groups who don't don't think CARB is doing enough here, who said they should not give credits to corporations that aren't doing anything to reduce pollution.

First public commenter in Spanish, Alberto Leon, appears to not think standards are enough, urges CARB to vote no because it won't address air pollution sufficiently. "We’re just getting out of one problem to get into another one," he said.

@PC4EJ “Diesel trucks are on our roads 24/7 and that diesel we breathe in is a poison to our health. That’s why the best alternative is to electrify our trucks. When you talk about zero-emissions, let’s mean zero-emissions,” - Macamen Gonzalez, @PC4EJ

“There is still time to fix the LCFS so it works for all Californians. Today we urge you to say NO because this policy rewards polluters. Lives are more important than profit. Put us on the right path today.” - Alondra Mateo, @PC4EJ
