Comment | COMMENTS ON AB 32 PROPOSED SCOPING PLAN, SUBMITTED BY SIERRA CLUB CALIFORNIA, November 19, 2008 12. High Speed Rail (p. 56) • Sierra Club endorsed Proposition 1A and supports construction of a High Speed Rail system for California. • CARB is aware of the ongoing controversy over Altamont and Pacheco Pass routes. We urge CARB to advise the High Speed Rail Authority on the relative carbon footprints of competing routes into the Bay Area, and to assess the relative degrees of cost-effectiveness in reducing carbon when constructed. To the extent that CARB can bring to bear climate considerations and data on this choice, the public will be well served. |
