The California Air Resources Board (CARB) voted on Nov. 8 to amend the state’s low carbon fuel standards, a move that some say could raise gasoline prices by up to 65 cents per gallon, although regulators suggested that the effect would be less significant.
In a 12–2 vote, board members approved amendments to strengthen air quality regulations intended to incentivize investment in alternative vehicle power sources, such as electric, hydrogen, and biofuels, that could replace traditional fossil fuels.
