ARB Chairman Mary Nichols issues comment on lawsuit challenging
California’s LCFS

SACRAMENTO:  In response to a lawsuit brought by the National
Petrochemical and Refiners Association, the American Truckers
Association and two other organizations challenging CARB's Low
Carbon Fuel Standard Mary Nichols, CARB chairman, issued the
following statement:

"Their actions are shameful. This is a critical tool to help us
break our dependence on fossil fuels. It will protect us from
volatile oil prices and provide consumers with cleaner fuels and
provide the nation with greater energy security.  Our analysis
shows that producing alternative fuels under this standard can
save consumers as much as $11 billion over the next decade, and
that's in California alone. Instead of fighting us in court, they
should be working with us to provide consumers in California and
the rest of the nation with the next generation of cleaner
fuels."
