Dec 15 (Reuters) - Californian regulators voted Thursday to approve a plan to reduce the state's carbon-dioxide emissions by 85% by 2045, reaching carbon neutrality then, including by cutting petroleum usage to one-tenth of the current level. The state has also angered its fuelmakers, which argue its policies hurt fuel consumers. Policy updates approved on Thursday were in the 2022 edition of a document called the Scoping Plan, which is revised every five years. Many California residents and lobbyists from oil and transportation companies said in public comments on Thursday that they welcomed the changes in the plan. CARB will continue evaluating how refiners can continue to operate to export fuel, said CARB spokesperson Dave Cleghern.
