The Clean Fuel Standard has been announced by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as part of the Liberal Party’s laudable plan to drastically cut annual emissions by more than 20 megatons by 2030. The intent of the standard is to cut carbon content in liquid fuels used to heat homes and for transportation. However, it makes no provision for those without the means to transition to greener fuels, leading to charges that working class families will be stuck with the bill as fuel producers and importers increase prices to meet legal obligations.
