Subject | Please Strengthen the ZEV Mandate |
Comment | We all share the air. From your own website: "A number of technological innovations have resulted from the ZEV mandate. Automotive breakthroughs such as hybrid . . . vehicles, and cars free of evaporative emissions are now realities as a result of efforts to meet ZEV requirements. ZEVs have won over a large number of supporters who like the quiet ride and efficient operation of zero emission vehicles. In addition to eliminating tailpipe and evaporative emissions, ZEVs also reduce greenhouse gases and toxic emissions. Dependence on petroleum products and the emissions associated with drilling, refining and transporting those fuels are also reduced with ZEV technology." I am one of those happy electric car drivers. I like knowing that my car pollutes less, and relies on domestic energy not subject to the whims of OPEC. This is a national security issue as well as a step in the right direction toward mitigation of climate change. Every day strangers approach me and ask, "How do I get one of those?" I have to tell them it's not easy, but that perhaps our wise government officials will find the strength to face down the oil companies & automakers in order to do the right thing for our society, with a little public encouragement. Please do the right thing, we'll back you all the way! |
