Comment | I am an Arizona resident who is closely watching the ZEV program issues in California. I am aware that California sets the standards for vehicle emissions that are later adopted by other states. In Arizona, our current emissions standards are based upon those set by California. It is important for California to set the standard for Zero Emission Vehicles as well. Because of thus I strongly encourage you to continue with the ZEV program. History has shown us that without government regulation, the automotive industry will continue to produce the same "high emission", "poor fuel economy" vehicles they are producing today. The fuel economy of today's motor vehicles has shown no improvement over the last 30 years, since the last national regulation for fuel economy was put in place. In abscence of government regulation, there simply was not enough incentive. The electric cars of the 1990's were destroyed in the abscence of government regulations for ZEV's. Once again, there simply was not enough incentive. Now we are once again facing the issue of ZEV regulation. I ask to you please continue to push for ZEV's in an effort to reduce green house gas enmissions, and reduce fuel consumption. Without government regulation, ZEV's may once again become only a pipe dream. The entire country is counting on California. Please do not fail us in our hour of need. Thank You. Sincerely, David Baragona |
