| Comment |
CARB has a record of very meaningful work in the area of reducing carbon emissions. Limiting the harmful, and potentially disastrous, impacts of continued exploitation of fossil fuels is likely to become even more challenging and critical under the new federal administration. Please consider a careful and comprehensive study of the carbon fee and dividend plan, as compared to other possible ways of addressing the problem. The carbon fee and dividend program advocated by Citizens Climate Lobby does not depend on new regulations, or the creation of a full-scale bureaucracy for oversight. It is a market-based solution putting an escalating fee on carbon at the source and then distributing the money collected to individual households. This type of plan may be the only way to obtain truly bipartisan support. The CA legislature has already endorsed this concept in its Assembly Joint Resolution 43. Thank you for your consideration.
