Comment:
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.
