Subject | Implementing AB 32 |
Comment | While my understanding of AB 32 is far from total, I do know that it constitutes a serious attempt to reduce GHG production in California. How CARB enforces AB 32 is therefore of critical importance to anyone who cares about the future of this state and the planet. In the Bay Area, the regional transportation authority has declared that 87% of the $222 billion it expects to receive in transportation funds over the next 25 years has already been allocated to "committed" projects, and that these projects, even those still in the planning stages, are not subject to change or reevaluation. Roughly $100 of the $222 billion is slated to be spent on new projects, at least $60 billion of which would lead to increases rather than decreases in GHG production. So the question becomes: how will CARB cope with an intransigent public agency that insists on conducting business as usual, regardless of the new environmental circumstances and the provisions of AB 32? |
