California Air Resources Board

The board needs to do more scientific research on the matter such as the way it will affect ground water, food, air quality. People live in areas that you want to do this they need professional scientists to assure them not a political agenda.

The Carbon Capture, Removal, Utilization, and Storage Program will: evaluate and facilitate the appropriate use of CCUS and CDR technologies; develop and implement monitoring and reporting schedules to ensure project efficacy, safety, and viability; and ensure projects assume financial responsibility for and adopt strategies to minimize the risk of seismic impacts and impacts to air quality, water quality, and public health, particularly in low-income and disadvantaged communities, related to project construction, operation, and decommissioning.

Real and Increasing Costs of Climate Change Impacts for Californians 
The science behind climate change is irrefutable. With the increasing severity and frequency of drought, wildfire, extreme heat, and other impacts, Californians just have to look out their windows to know that climate change is real and rapidly getting worse. The impacts once thought decades away are happening now. Recent reports detail some of the impacts to the state: 

A 2024 national report ranked California the worst state for natural disasters fueled by a changing climate, with expected annual losses totaling more than $16 billion statewide. 
Home insurance is harder and more expensive to get. Seven of California’s largest property insurers, State Farm, Allstate, Farmers, USAA, Travelers, Nationwide and Chubb recently limited new homeowners policies in the Golden State — raising questions about the stability of the California home insurance market. 
During an 11-year period, exposure to wildfire smoke caused more than 50,000 deaths in California and more than $400 billion in economic impacts. 
During seven extreme heat events over the past decade, California experienced $7.7 billion in losses. 

Please defund Animal ag with the nonsensical cycle of bailouts and subsidies with our taxes due to repeated pandemics and climate intensified disasters. CAFO's and it's total operations cause 20% of warming and pollution. Please invest in Alt-Protein start ups. We have the knowledge and technology now. We have the ability to divest from a broken and archaic food system. Please don't allow corporations to greenwash or humanewash any longer.
