To whom it may concern:

I am writing in regardds to an article I read in the  San
JoseMercury News this morning regarding the proposal from the CARB
to weaken the zero emmision vehicle mandate from 25,000 to 2,500
vehicles per year.  When are you goingto learn?  T he car
companies and the fuel companies must be required, and for their
own good, to successfully produce zero emmisssion vehicles.  You
folks didn't come out so well in that  "Who killed the electric
car" documentary?  Are you going to do the same thing again? If we
had forced the car companies to stay on track with the production
of electric cars back then, would we be facing $3.50/gallon gas
now? For that matter, would our domestic car companies be having
their lunches handed to them by Japanese and Korean car
manufacturers as our domestic dealerships have swollen lots of
pickups and suv's? My wife and I are considering the purchase of a
new car over the summer, my inclination is to buy domestic, but the
imports are the companies that have the lead in cleaner cars, your
board bears part of the blame for the economic situation facing
the state and nation today. You have another chance to do what is
right and hold the line against convenience and profit over long
term advantage

I am strongly opposed to the proposed changes and urge their
rejection.


Thank you for your time.
