Comment | To the Clerk of the Air Resources Board, I am writing to express my opposition to the proposed new rules regulating emissions in California. Although I believe the science of global warming is sound, I think the direction the board is taking is draconian and will do nothing to solve the problem worldwide. In my travels outside the US I am always amazed they lack the basic environmental controls we had 40 years ago. Money spent there would go a lot further and it would actually improve the quality of life. Instead, we get regulations that send jobs to places where they can pollute more and nobody wins. As a classic car hobbyist I was dismayed at the amount of difficulty I had this last year in painting one of my classics. It is already difficult to find the chemicals needed to practice my hobby. I am afraid I will not be able to practice my hobby at all if these new rules come into play. I urge you to suspend this legislation and focus on educating people on proper tire inflation and on proper AC use. Many people I know use their air conditioning all the time and only adjust the temperature control. They do not realize they are wasting gas when ever the AC is on and when ever the defroster is on. Other people won’t use the vent because of the smell from the ducts when the AC is turned off. These people need to be educated in the way to prevent the smell. Turning off the AC two blocks before you park your car will blow the moisture out of the ducts and prevent the smell. Disseminating this simple fact will save a lot of fuel. Sincerely, Tom Magdaleno |
