GOP Calling For Referral Of Low Carbon Fuel Standard

Oregon Senate Minority Leader Ted Ferrioli says he isn’t sure all Democrats in that chamber will vote for to implement the low-carbon fuel standard.  Ferrioli says Republicans have attached a minority report to what came out of the Senate Environment and Natural Resources Committee this week that calls for the issue to be referred to voters.  The John Day Republican assumes all the members of his party will vote against the standard, but he isn’t sure majority Democrats will vote for it.  Critics of the standard say it would raise fuel prices without bringing a noticeable reduction in global carbon emissions.  Proponents say price increases would be minimal, and it would spur investments in new technology.
