I support California's goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by
174 million tons/year by 2020, which means cutting vehicle
emissions by about 70 million tons/year. It's time for bolder
action and a more effective Zero Emission Vehicle Program. Only
California is allowed to set tougher tailpipe standards than
federal regulations, and other states can follow, so California
must lead the way. The nation needs you now.

Please require automakers to offer 100,000 zero-emission vehicles
for sale in 2012-2014 (less than 2% of the market) to get us
moving in the right direction. That's fewer than 6,000 vehicles
per year from each of the six largest car companies. They can do
it. Please support higher numbers of zero-emission vehicles, and
get them on the roads soon. I drive a Toyota Prius because I
believe it is the right thing to do, and if more fuel efficient
vehicles are available Californians will buy them! The CARB should
not give in to the laziness of nearsighted corporations but should
use their regulatory authority to promote a business economy that
supports the health of the environment the way we want it to.
