In case you missed it, the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) is considering banning oil refineries’ use of Modified Hydrofluoric Acid (MHF), likely causing two Southern California refineries to cease operations.
If this were to happen, it could devastate California’s economy and could cause thousands of local jobs to be lost and increase gas prices by 25 cents per gallon or more, according to a recent study.
Please attend and testify THIS SATURDAY at the SCAQMD Refinery Committee meeting urging the Committee to oppose any MHF ban or phase-out.
If you cannot attend the April 28th meeting, please take action by doing one or all of the following:
- Join the coalition. BizFed is part of the “Californians for a Sustainable Economy” (CaSE) coalition, which includes labor unions, community members, and businesses, and the goal is to STOP any MHF ban or phase-out. You can join by clicking here: https://sustainableeconomy.energy/take-action/
- Email the SCAQMD Governing Board. Tell them you OPPOSE banning or phasing-out MHF. Click here to download our letter, place on your letterhead, and send to wnastri@aqmd.gov and pfine@aqmd.gov.
- Share this Action Alert with your network! Your help is crucial because we need to get a large VOLUME of emails sent to the SCAQMD in advance of the April 28thRefinery Committee meeting!
Together, we can defeat this! |
