Subject | PLEASE ADOPT THE ZEV MANDATE |
Comment | The Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) is what is right for California. I was born and raised in the San Joaquin Valley and now after a long career in the military I wanted to retire there, but the air quality has gotten so bad I am forced to look elsewhere. The ZEV technology is available now. Please adopt the ZEV mandate. It needs to be law because the the oil and automotive industries don't hold the best interests of the people of californian. They are obstructing progress towards cleaner air and reduced dependency on oil. They fear the change because they will loose much of their power. I am sure the benefits of ZEV will far outweigh any trumped up financial crises that the oil and automotive industry has presented. The California governement could save millions annually if all the state vehicles were ZEV. The money people save from not having to buy gas can be invested elsewhere. If you are worried about loosing gas tax revenue, I would be happy to make up for the loss in other taxable ways - increased auotomotive registration fees for example. I trust you will do the right thing. Sincerely, Randall B. Bohanon RN, CNOR |
