The LCFS is the leading example of a Clean Fuel Standard , an approach to transportation fuel policy that holds oil refiners accountable to reduce the carbon intensity (CI) of transportation fuels. California may seem like an unlikely driver of deforestation from soybean and palm oil biofuels.

Companies are spending millions fighting lawsuits that would hold them accountable for the costs that fossil fuel extraction has imposed on people and the planet. Further, these efforts are focused on carbon capture and storage, hydrogen, and biofuels—technologies that aim to stash carbon emissions away, not reduce their production.

For this reason, it is important that policy makers, not only at EPA but also in California, are realistic about the sustainably available supply of oils, and implement fuel policies to avoid excessive diversion of vegetable oil into transportation fuel production. Biofuels can play a productive role when used at a sustainable level.

Renewables contributed to electricity prices rising six times more in California than in the rest of the US since 2011, the state’s “take-off” year for rapid growth in wind and solar, a price rise that occurred despite the state’s reliance during the same years on persistently-low-priced natural gas.
