Dear CARB,

I write today to ask that the California Air Resources Board not
weaken the current Zero Emission Vehicle regulations. Zero
emission vehicles not only reduce air pollution, but help in the
fight against global warming. In fact, now is the time to
strengthen, not weaken, these requirements.

As a car purchaser concerned not only about pollution but as well
the high price of gasoline, I need the option of purchasing a zero
emission vehicle and reducing my own impact in these areas. This is
unlikely to come to pass, though, if automakers are required to
make only 150 ZEV vehicles per year.

Finally, I fully support the staff's proposal to significantly
increase the number of plug-in hybrids that must be produced and
appreciate staff's vision in including these cars in the ZEV
requirements. A plug-in hybrid that has an all-electric range, but
that also runs on gasoline when the battery is empty, is a great
option for consumers like me.

Let's stop fiddling while the planet burns.
