One of the many pseudo-green groups being funded to push agrofuels asked me to write to Salem's legislators about the so-called "Clean Fuels" bill, which is actually nothing but a scam, so I modified their letter and submitted it:
> I'm appalled at Oregon for falling for the idea that it is taking a stand to clean up air pollution with the Clean Fuels Program. Our children's health and our community well-being demands we transition off of polluting fuels.
>
> That is why it's imperative that we take meaningful action to slash fossil fuels, and not waste time on nonsense like biofuels, which is nothing but subsidy grubbing by people like SeQuential Biodiesel, who are trying to play the game by trying to grab even more subsidy dollars by claiming they will expand operations now that the Clean Fuels Program will be implemented.
>
> Don't pull the rug out from Oregon by settling for phony programs that keep us tied to the liquid fuels, private auto model, which only helps Big Oil get the last drops of profit from dirty fuels.
>
> The Clean Fuels Program must be abolished in favor of real action on climate, a carbon tax and rebate program
>
> Keeping Oregon addicted to oil by pouring more dollars down the agrofuels rathole only hurts our state. Please help our state. Stop playing politics and kill the Clean Fuels program, and get serious about climate policies that actually work, like B.C.'s carbon taxes.
>
> Yours sincerely,
"Let's live on the planet as if we intend to stay."
