Comment:
Thank you for considering the attached comments on the Cap-and-Trade Auction Proceeds Concept Paper and for the 2016-17 Investment Plan. I encourage Air Resources Board to focus the next Investment Plan on directing auction proceeds back to people as a climate dividend. The California Climate Credit showing up twice a year on electricity bills is a good start. The state should expand that to an off-bill per capita dividend that would be simple, transparent, and be inclusive of disadvantaged communities. I believe that the majority of the revenue should be used for dividends as they are equitable and maximize the environmental and economic benefits to California. The atmosphere belongs to all of us, and so we should all be compensated for its use. See 180 attached signatures from California residents.
