Subject: Oregon Needs a Strong Clean Fuels Program

Importance: Normal

Members of the Environmental Quality Commission,

I support creating jobs,

cleaning the air, stabilizing the climate and breaking Oregon's dependence

on oil. I urge you to adopt a strong standard and move forward with the

Clean Fuels Program.

Oregon needs to do everything we can to reduce our

dependence on gas and oil. In the past ten years, Oregon has been captive to

the skyrocketing costs of fuel, sending more than $5 billion out of state

each year for the gas and diesel we need for our households and businesses.

We must act today to make clean fuel alternatives more widely available, and

support local innovators who are already creating cleaner fuels here at

home.

Oregon has already shown that investments in clean energy can pay

off. The investments we made in energy efficiency 30 years ago have made our

state a national leader, even as we put people to work and avoided sinking

billions into more energy generation that leads to pollution. That¹s the

kind of bold action we need for tomorrow's transportation, and we need to

act today.

I urge you to adopt the Clean Fuels Program today and start

building a stable, strong Oregon for tomorrow. Thank you for your

consideration.

Regards,

Nathan Boddie MD, MS
