The 11 states include Pennsylvania plus the 10 members of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, a coalition creating a greenhouse gas cap-and-trade program for the power generation sector. The low carbon fuel standard will require a reduction in the average lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions per unit of useful energy, and may include advanced biofuels and electricity.
"After power generation, transportation is the next logical target for reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, and a Low Carbon Fuel Standard gives us a market-based mechanism to get the environmental results we need," Laurie Burt, Massachusetts’ Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner, said in a statement.
The states will work with the Northeast States for Coordinated Air Use Management, which is currently studying the potential of a low carbon fuel standard for the region, in the hopes of drafting a plan by late 2009. California is also working on the development of a low carbon fuel standard for motor vehicles.
The RGGI states include Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island and Vermont.

Eco, Green, Carbons, Pollution or words you hear every day.
There is a little town on the outskirts of Houston, where they still don't have to lock their doors, a deer runs across the road an a few ducks quack on their way to a lake.
Where the words Eco, Green, Carbons, Pollution or taken seriously.
It's the home of this little bit nutty inventor who has develop a paint.
He claims is so Eco an Green you can put left over painting your garden and it while amend your soil.
This new paint has no Odor you can even add your a favorite fragrance to it.
We saw it stopping rust on an old tin shed. Stamped to look like Coble stones, an old tile floor resurfaced, a beautiful marbleize Kitchen counter, a whole interior room coated floor and walls an not one hint of an odor.
