The annual push to promote electric vehicles and biofuels at the expense of gasoline and "dinosaur" diesel has again failed to woo a key Washington state senator who killed the bill twice before. But whether that'll matter this time is an open question.
The 2020 Washington Legislature made it official state policy to reduce production of planet-warming gases but failed to pass any significant measures that would meet those ambitious goals.
The California Air Resources Board on Sept. 27, 2018, imposed a tougher “low carbon fuel standard.” Gas prices will climb as much as 36 cents a gallon by 2030; diesel prices by 44 cents.
