The Low-Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) is a scam designed to make the cost of motor fuel spiral, in the vain hope of making alternative fuels more attractive. Of course, there are no real alternatives available in industrial quantities, and there won't be in the near future. It boils down to another redistribution of wealth scheme.

The Threat Is Real. President Obama, as Illinois’ junior member of the Senate, introduced LCFS legislation last Congress,i and has strongly supported action in California to ban certain North American fuels.ii Rep. Jay Inslee (D-WA),iii a member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, and Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR),iv of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources panel, have both offered LCFS legislation this Congress. And Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN), the third-ranking Republican in the Senate, continues to advocate for an LCFS.v The likelihood of a one-size-fits-all low-carbon fuel mandate becoming law – perhaps as a part of broader cap-and-trade legislation – is real.
