I am seriously concerned by the inequitable impact of the climate crisis on our citizens and ask that you please consider these recommendations for inclusion in the Final Scoping Plan: - that the State auction 100% of permits under the cap. Polluters should pay for their emissions, not be given free permits that subsidize coal and prolong the transition to cleaner energy. - that the Scoping Plan specify that all auction revenues will be used to provide a Dividend to compensate consumers. With gasoline at $4.50/gallon and rising electricity prices, helping consumers deal with fuel and electricity costs is the best use of auction revenues. - I support CARB's proposal for Carbon Fees on fossil fuel companies to help fund CARB's implementation of AB32. Carbon Fees can also provide funding sources for clean technologies, green jobs, energy efficiency programs, and more. |
