Change to the White House website includes a national LCFS
Posted January 20, 2009 in Moving Beyond Oil, Solving Global Warming
The White House website changed on queue today and includes an exciting new Energy and Environment page. There in the middle are 6 bullets on how to eliminate our current imports from the Middle East and Venezuela within 10 years. Check out the 4th (emphasis added):
- Increase Fuel Economy Standards.
- Get 1 Million Plug-In Hybrid Cars on the Road by 2015.
- Create a New $7,000 Tax Credit for Purchasing Advanced Vehicles.
- Establish a National Low Carbon Fuel Standard.
- A “Use it or Lose It” Approach to Existing Oil and Gas Leases.
- Promote the Responsible Domestic Production of Oil and Natural Gas.
There's also an RPS commitment and a commitment to implement a economy-wide cap-and-trade program to reduce GHG emissions by 2050 and make the U.S. a leader on climate change.
Did I mention this is on the website of the White House?
