Higher energy costs lead to higher utility and gasoline prices for consumers.  Enacting a national Low-Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) will divert affordable, previously U.S-bound energy supplies from Canada to our competitors, reduce access to critical energy products such as diesel and home heating fuel, and increase prices at [...]]]></description>
