California’s gas prices are already some of the highest in the nation, and they’re set to rise even more. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) will soon vote on new Low Carbon Fuel Standards, a regulatory move projected to add around 47 cents per gallon to fuel prices. CARB’s own report highlights this impact, yet despite calls from elected officials and community leaders to delay the vote, CARB is pressing forward. This decision will directly affect working- and middle-class Californians, adding economic strain and increasing the cost of everyday essentials.
