I support your agenda to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 25% by
2020. The adoption of Amendments to the 2008 Amendments to the
California Zero Emission Vehicle Regulation is needed. 


The best way to reach this goal is to give consumers like myself
the choice to buy Zero-Emission Vehicles (ZEVs), like the electric
Tesla Roadster. I am a mother and a student. I need the vehicles to
be affordable as well.

Unfortunately, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) may
reduce the number of ZEVs required of automakers by 90%, settling
for only 2,500 from 2012-2014.

Please ask your appointed CARB chair, Mary Nichols, to 
1. Require the full 25,000 ZEVs that automakers had promised for
2012-2014, and
2. Create a separate requirement for plug-in hybrids that lets
them replace the dirtiest vehicles in CARB's regulations, rather
than the cleanest ZEVs.

Choice for consumers means cleaner air for everyone. My children
and I are a part of the group of people who are affected by the
air quality. It is not fair that I have to use a large portion of
my finances and public resources just to breathe and stay healthy.
I am tired of going to hospitals and doctors for oxygen treatments
and medications. My family and I need clean air and water so does
everyone else. 

Sincerely,

Adrienne Bridges
