California's gas prices to increase 65 cents per gallon with new fuel standards

California's Air Resources Board has voted Friday night to change fuel standards to reduce emissions and improve air quality, which would increase the price of gas 65 cents more per gallon.

"We know that in order to be successful in addressing climate change, we must continue to reduce our fossil fuel consumption," said Liane Randolph, chair of California Air Resources Board. "And for this unelected board made up by a group of millionaires to even be considering raising our gas prices right now while Californian's are struggling under the cost of living here in California, is unbelievable to me that we are even having this discussion." "Lays out a plan to achieve carbon neutrality by 2045 that would also result in a 94% reduction in petroleum demand by 2045," said Liane Randolph, chair of California Air Resources Board.
