Dear Sirs/Madams:

The current cap and trade rules were drafted prior to the
resounding NO vote on Prop 23 - and NO on 23 received more votes
than anything else on the California ballot. You should take this
as a mandate from the people of the state for the strongest
possible climate action and program implementation under AB 32.

The massive giveaway of pollution allowances weakens the impact of
our climate action, and should be reduced. The industries involved
in these giveaways have profited from polluting for far too long,
and these "gifts" will only allow them to  continue to do so.
Instead, they should be encouraged to seek emissions reductions.

Please, seize this opportunity to strengthen the rules the achieve
the strongest possible implementation of our climate law.

Sincerely,

Karen Zimmerman
Alameda, CA
