    What is going on in Cali in the base case?
    Fossil diesel banned for trucks? half of USA farmers growing soybeans going to revamped "oil" refineries around the country to use high pressure H2 to hydrogenate and deoxygenate the veggie oils to make paraffinic diesel from food, to ship to California to profit from large Cali subsidies to do this.

    Bottom line, the lions share of Cali pollution is coming from diesels, and even if you think soybeans to diesel makes eco-sense (and why would you) it just a partial fix on the diesel emission issue.
