Subject | End the current LCFS policies that reward factory farm polluters |
Comment | Governor Newsom and administration, please understand my concern. Factory farm gas is not clean energy. It's composed primarily of methane, a potent greenhouse gas that traps 80 times more heat than carbon dioxide. The extraction of methane from factory farm waste does nothing to alleviate the massive harm inflicted by factory farms on local communities. The production of methane from factory farms causes public health and climate impacts, compounding the existing impacts from factory farms. The LCFS is a California policy, but it is driving the expansion of factory farms and factory farm gas in numerous states, including MY state. Last Friday I attended an all day Ag Bioscience Conference that was sponsored by Duke Energy. The only type of Climate solution discussed was Agrivoltaics, of which I approve and encourage farmers to include in the long-term plans for their land. Solar farms on Ag land make a lot of sense, not burning and producing more Methane that our atmosphere already cannot take. What kind of technology is? This is a set back to our survival, it is a FALSE CLIMATE SOLUTION and it should be stopped. Please do nothing to incentivize polluting factory farms. We have enough of them in Indiana and I don't want any more. Turn to cleaner energy technology now. Thank you, Julie Lowe, Columbus, Indiana |
