Help defeat the Low Carbon Fuel Standard

An interesting post from http://consumerenergyalliance.org about environmental regulations This follows this post about the Gulf Spill.This follows this post about a creative solution to Gulf drilling and this previous article about the recent news about offshore drilling to encourage American energy independence This is a key issue to prevent money from going to hostile countries such as Iran and Venezuela.

Help defeat the Low Carbon Fuel Standard
The Low-Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) is being sold to the American public as a way to blend transportation fuels with low-carbon alternatives so that tailpipe CO2 emissions can be reduced. But the fact is that affordable and reliable lower-carbon fuel options are not yet available. As a result, an LCFS simply will increase the cost of diesel fuel and gasoline and will place certain domestic supplies of transportation fuels off limits. Increasing the cost of transportation fuel and U.S. dependence upon foreign sources of petroleum is simply unsound energy policy.
While foreign oil producers from some of the least-stable regions of the world may benefit under an LCFS, American consumers would be stuck paying higher prices at the pump.
