I was a big supporter of the Zero Emission Vehicles that were
available in the late '90s and early 2000's. They were safe,
dependable, fun to drive, and produced zero emissions!  Where are
they today? What happened to them? The answer is changes to the CA
Zero Emission Vehicle Regulation. The technology exists; actually
it is old now, and there is no reason why electric vehicles should
not be available for purchase or lease TODAY. Do not put off the
only alternative fuel technology that has actually been proven. No
more pork barrel "ethanol" scams. We need to take seriously the
effect of burning fossil fuels on our health, communities,
national security, and planet. Please do not extend or alter the
requirements for Zero Emission Vehicles. We need these vehicles on
the road, the time is NOW! 

Specific comments Resolution 08-24:
(1) 7,500 ZEV per manufacturer is too few. Require 12,500.

(2) New TYPE V ZEV should be required beginning 2015.

(3-4) Close loop holes

(5) PEHVs should be required to travel at least 40 miles on
electric charge to get any extra credit.

(6) NO special credit should be given to hydrogen powered
vehicles. These are costly red herrings

(7) transpearency is good.

Thank you.
