California ’s average $ 4.67 a gallon gas price already is the highest in the U.S. , well above the $ 3.20 national average.
The state Air Resources Board will consider lowering its carbon intensity standard for fuel, which would increase prices.
The standard sets limits on the carbon content of fuels such as gasoline and diesel.
But if the law does help alleviate gas prices, it’s unlikely to make a big dent, said Severin Borenstein , a professor of business administration and public policy at UC Berkeley who has served on state energy advisory boards since the 1990s . “It is really clear that this isn’t going to address most of the problem,” Borenstein said. “Our prices are higher than the rest of the country more than the difference in taxes and environmental cost.”.
