Comment | Chairman Nichols and Members of the Board: Thank you for moving forward on implementing the Global Warming Solutions Act (AB 32). I am concerned by the over-allowance of free pollution credits to the industrial sector in the Cap & Trade Design. Please revisit, revise, and phase out free allocation to the industrial sector. Several research studies have found that the “leakage” claims of the industrial sector are exaggerated and subsidizing these industries through free allowances creates barriers to transitioning to a cleaner economy. Please take advantage of the favorable public climate that California currently enjoys around addressing climate change and implementing AB 32 by taking much-needed bold actions and removing the massive allowance giveaways outlined in the current rules. Thank you. |
