| Comment | Dear CARB,
I have several comments regarding the proposed cap and trade
regulations:
Permit Price Floor: Thank you for including a permit price floor
starting at $10/ton - essential to stabilize prices so businesses
can plan.
Dividend Check: I urge you to follow your expert economic panel’s
recommendation that “The largest share (roughly 75%) of allowance
value should be returned to California households...” in the form
of a dividend check.
Transportation fuels sector: I support the upstream point of
regulation and auctioning 100% of permits.
Industrial sector: The free allocations are excessive and should be
reduced.
Electricity sector: The final regulation should direct utilities to
protect ratepayers by returning allowance value directly to
residential customers as a rebate check.
Sincerely,
Stacey Meinzen
