Subject | The light in a friends smile |
Comment | Do you know the feeling of seeing the light shine from a friends smile? I am a 44 year old husband and father of 2 children living in Orange County. I am a CPA, the assistant controller of an international corporation. I am not a tree hugging environmentalist or Hollywood celebrity looking for a cause. It is my understanding CARB is voting on regulations impacting electric vehicles. I am asking you to maintain, or increase, existing quotas on electric vehicles. Please also ease any unfair restraints on the manufacture of electric vehicles such as the 10 year battery life requirement. A friend of my family passed away from cancer in December. On Saturday January 5th, the day of my friends funeral, the LA Times ran an article titled "Air Improves, But not Enough - study finds risk of cancer for regions residents still high". My friend was survived by a wife and three children. They relocated here from England on his work visa. They are now being deported. At the end of this month you will be voting on regulations and discussing a hydrogen economy which does not exist. My 14 year old son will be saying goodbye to a real friend, traveling in a real plane, mourning the loss of his real father. Regardless of your vote I have faith that truth will prevail. There are already more hybrids than Hummers on the road. As I write this email I can picture my friend. I can see the light shine from his smile. |
