The members of Environmental Entrepreneurs (E2) urge you to sign AB 1007 - California's Alternative Fuels Bill. E2 is a co-sponsor of this bill for three reasons:
1. We do not believe that petroleum-based transportation fuels alone can reliably meet California's growing transportation needs.
2. We believe there is an opportunity to increase the production of alternative fuels in California to provide greater economic benefit and create more jobs than purchasing fuels from outside the state and the country. In addition, alternative fuels will save consumers money at the pump because many are already less expensive to produce than petroleum fuels.
3. We share your goal of reducing global warming pollution, 60 percent of which comes from transportation. Alternative fuels produce less global warming pollution than gasoline and diesel. Without a shift to alternative fuels, your targets cannot be met.
E2 has worked closely with your Secretaries and staff to develop AB 1007 into a bill that has no stated opposition, bipartisan support from both houses of the legislature and is consistent with your energy policies.
We urge you to sign AB 1007 to accelerate transforming California to a diversified, lower cost and less polluting system of transportation fuels. |
