A federal judge is blocking California from enforcing its first-in-the-nation mandate for cleaner, low-carbon fuels, saying the rules favor biofuels produced in the state.
The lawsuit challenging the regulations was filed in a Fresno federal court last year by the National Petrochemical & Refiners Association and the American Trucking Associations.
The California Air Resources Board adopted the low-carbon fuel standard as part of the state’s landmark 2006 global warming law.
Wha? I say let the State of California have its fuel standard it wanted so bad, then stop sending gasoline blends their way period. Let’s see how much the Citizens would love paying swollen fuel prices due to enviromental exteremism.
