| Comment | Dear CARB, Please consider these recommendations for inclusion in the Final AB32 Scoping Plan: - The State should absolutely auction 100% of permits under the cap. Polluters should pay for their emissions, NOT be given free permits that subsidize coal and prolong the transition to cleaner energy. - The Scoping Plan should specify that all auction revenues will be used to provide a Dividend to compensate consumers. Given the state of the economy, helping consumers deal with fuel and electricity costs is the best use of auction revenues. I highly recommend reading Peter Barnes' Cap and Dividend solutions in his book "Capitalism 3.0": http://capitalism3.com/ - I support CARB's proposal for Carbon Fees on fossil fuel companies to help fund CARB's implementation of AB32. Carbon Fees can also provide funding sources for clean technologies, green jobs, energy efficiency programs, and more. |
