Subject | Don't Weaken CARB ZEV Regulations!!!!! |
Comment | I beg the California Air Resources Board not weaken the current Zero Emission Vehicle regulations. Zero emission vehicles not only reduce air pollution, but help in the fight against global warming. Now is the time to strengthen, not weaken, these requirements. We CANNOT GO BACKWARDS!!! Please don't let the car companies and their lobbyists dictate public policy that does not serve me or the people in CA. I am concerned about pollution as well as the high price of gasoline. I would very much like to have the option of purchasing a zero emission vehicle and reducing my own impact in these areas. This is unlikely to come to pass, though, if automakers are only required to make 150 ZEV vehicles per year. Finally, I fully support the staff's proposal to significantly increase the number of plug-in hybrids that must be produced and appreciate staff's vision in including these cars in the ZEV requirements. A plug-in hybrid that has an all-electric range, but that also runs on gasoline when the battery is empty, is a great option for consumers like me. |
