| Comment | Dear California Air Resources Board,
To Whom It May Concern;
IMHO, the proposed California Low Carbon Fuel Standard is a climate
policy failure that backslides on the state's role as a "Climate
Leader" -- and everyone's watching (all the time).
Subsidizing use/availability of COMBUSTION FUELS at BILLION$$/year
when we could be subsidizing clean energy infrastructure and
deliverables -- wind, solar, gasification ... -- to the power
grid(s)!? *sigh*.
Wrong direction. Why spend/invest our tax dollars towards
soon-to-be non-viable energy futures For All Mankind? What is
your job -- just to keep it?
I urge you to correct your course and modernize the program by
reflecting your consensus that the only way to meet air quality
standards is through the fade-to-elimination of combustion fuels
(and industries) altogether. It will take a long time to turn this
shop around yet it can be done and we can start now.
NOW.
You could add a clean air multiplier to the credits system,
especially for public fleets that transport many people at once,
and throw a big LIFELINE to cash-strapped Public Transit agencies
that low-income and other conscious City People use for mobility on
a daily, year-around basis.
Harness the power of the Low Carbon Fuel Standard and overhaul this
multi-BILLION$ program for our zero emissions future! Truly, Isn't
that your job?
Sincerely,
Vicki Olds
