Recenzje

Californians have a deep and complicated relationship with oil. The birth of the modern environmental movement coincides with a 1969 oil spill in the Santa Barbara Channel that killed thousands of sea birds and left blobs of tar on the beaches for months. Revenue from oil production on State lands still significant. And combustion of petroleum products for transportation remains the biggest contributor to global warming. The analytical approach described in No Standard Oil provides a sophisticated tool that undergirds California's groundbreaking Low Carbon Fuel Standard, the most effective policy to date for bringing new, more sustainable fuels to market.
