| Comment | Dear CARB Board members:
Thank you for your hard work so far envisioning a plan to
implement the Global Warming Solutions Act.
I have a few requests that I believe will make this plan even
stronger. I hope you will consider them during your meeting.
- Please auction off all emission allowances. Program
revenues should go toward GHG reduction programs, such as clean
technologies, green jobs, and aid for low-income consumers and
small businesses to reduce their utility bills.
- Please work to reduce the role of offsets in the Plan.
Providing too many offsets encourages continuing emissions in
low-income neighborhoods and in defenseless habitats, and weakens
the demand for clean energy technology innovation. Limiting offsets
will create more clean-energy jobs, stimulating our state’s
economy.
Thanks again for your work on behalf of clean air for California.
