Subject | No to a Cap-and-Trade Program for California |
Comment | Please do not consider a carbon cap-and-trade program for California. Please consider these two options instead: Carbon Tax - This is a much more transparent approach to pricing carbon. Also, the revenues go to the state, which can use it to close the budget gap, re-fund our public transportation systems, schools, and social services, and invest in green energy. We the People need that money more than Chevron does – make polluters pay! Regulate specific pollution sources - A carbon tax makes it more expensive to pollute, but does not always guarantee less pollution. That’s why it’s a good idea to combine this policy with strict enforcement of clean air laws with the biggest polluters, such as oil refineries, making sure to clean up the environment for the communities that live around them. Thank you for your efforts in helping California reduce its carbon emissions in the most effective and sustainable manner possible. |
