Subject | Strengthen California's Global Warming Program |
Comment | Dear Air Resources Board: Thank you for taking global warming seriously and developing a plan to reduce global warming pollution while at the same time creating jobs and making California a healthier and more prosperous place to live. Setting a limit that declines each year, and setting a minimum price on carbon pollution is certainly helpful, but the program should be strengthened by requiring more of the state’s largest polluters to pay for their global warming emissions instead of giving permits away for free. By forcing polluters to pay for the emissions they generate by purchasing permits in an auction, we can then re-invest the auction funds into efforts that will help us transition to a cleaner economy and help lower energy costs for Californians—such as making homes and businesses more energy efficient, increasing public transit options, and developing wind and solar projects in California. I urge you to adopt the strongest policy on capping California's greenhouse emissions. This means requiring the largest polluters to pay the state government for the emissions they generate. Thank you. Sincerely, Margaret Honda Los Angeles, CA |
