New Report Outlines Climate Costs of Relaxing Crude Oil Export Regulations

There's been a lot of talk lately about the crude oil export ban -- a regulation on exports of crude (as opposed to refined) oil that the oil industry hates. They've recently started a campaign, it seems, to pressure their friends in Congress to relax this regulation.  Of course, their only motivation is increased profits...climate be damned.

Unfortunately, relaxing the crude oil export ban would be a disaster for our climate, resulting increased oil production that would amount to emissions equivalent of 42 coal plants.
