Comment | To the Air Recources Board, I would like to show my upmost disgust for your plan of Cap and Trade in California. First it was your MTBE mistake now this is the next MISTAKE you are planning to make. Do you not understand that you are going to cripple our economy? Cause job Losses, people to lose their homes, cars/trucks. Do you think it is fair and just for people to pay skyrocketed prices for electricity,natural gas, gas & diesel?? You are using energy as the media for which to TAX us to death. Because you know that we need electricity in our everyday lives and that we all need gas and diesel fuel for this world to spin!!! I am completely against Cap & Trade in California! and I want you to stop this NOW! As you taxing us with gas and diesel, will only make the citizens and businesses of California poorer! Here are a few links I would to add to prove my point: http://www.thenewamerican.com/index.php/world-mainmenu-26/europe-mainmenu-35/5253-un-official-admits-cap-and-trade-is-wealth-red This proves that Cap & Trade is nothing but a Redistribution of Wealth and that Global warming is MADE UP! Here are a few quotes from the interview I would like to show you! o further prove my point I would like you to conduct your own research on an interview conducted by Germany's NZZ Online Sunday. It in Mr. OTTMAR EDENHOFER a UN IPCC OFFICIAL, which means ( Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change ). Admits that climate change is a scam and says "We redistribute de facto the world’s wealth by climate policy" Edenhofer further says "stating that cap and trade would cost the average American household an extra $1,600 per year. It would increase the price for a gallon of gasoline between $0.61 to $2.53, and would increase electricity costs anywhere from 44 percent to 129 percent. Here is an atricle by StreetRodder Magazine: http://blogs.streetrodderweb.com/6690698/car-initiative/california-global-warming-solutions-act-info-on-assembly-bill-32/index.html That exposes the faults and truth behing ab32! Here are a few quotes from the article "A few days ago, the San Francisco Chronicle exposed CARB's estimate of pollution from diesel trucks as a 340 percent overstatement, while independent truckers leave the business rather than bear the costs CARB is imposing on the basis of this calculation. Today, a new paper by Robert Michaels of California State University, Fullerton explains the many ways in which CARB's economic modeling of AB 32 is fatally flawed and how CARB threatens California's economic welfare. CARB assumes that its fuel economy regulations will cost "only" $1050 per vehicle in 2016 and $2,000 in 2020. Estimates by others are much higher. * According to CARB, the benefits of a low carbon fuel standard that reduces GHG emissions equal its costs. CARB, however, conveniently excludes over $6 billion per year in federal ethanol and biofuel subsidies from the costs. * Hidden in the "fine print" of CARB's scoping plan is an admission that to meet the 2020 goals it will need to cut the number of passenger vehicles by 20 percent (while population grows by 12 percent), but the Board does not specify exactly how this will be done. Here is a long list of Businesses that have left the state of california due to ab32! http://blogs.streetrodderweb.com/6694093/car-initiative/why-we-need-proposition-23-to-pass/index.html Also by taxing oil refineries, you are only having the refineries pass that tax on to us the citizens (consumers) of fuel and oil products. You are not changing our consumption as it is a necessity but. Forcing us to pay alot more for a necessity. This is unfair, unjust and I want it to stop NOW! You are going to make a monopoly out of making money off of taxing electricity and gas & diesel in our state! It is sickening and honestly pathetic on your part! I would also like to point out if you are for the environment, then why would you have trees cut down in exchange for companies getting carbon credits?? That makes no sense to me what so ever. Could you explain how that works?? Also i would like to ask where does the money go that would be made off of cap and trade? Which of you is getting rich off of this money? You should be ashamed of yourselves at even the thought of this let alone going forward with this. Here is the sf gate article that exposes you 340% FLAW in calculations CARB!!!! http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2010/10/08/MNOF1FDMRV.DTL Here is the quote you need to read : 10-08) 04:00 PDT Sacramento -- California grossly miscalculated pollution levels in a scientific analysis used to toughen the state's clean-air standards, and scientists have spent the past several months revising data and planning a significant weakening of the landmark regulation, The Chronicle has found. The pollution estimate in question was too high - by 340 percent, according to the California Air Resources Board, the state agency charged with researching and adopting air quality standards. I want this STOPPED NOW! GOT IT CARB! Sincerely Paul Rodriguez! |
