I am all for CARB's recommending implementation of mandated  
energy standards, energy efficiency measures, and clean vehicle
requirements. 
 
But I feel more must be done if we are going to attain the major
changes needed to prevent catastrophic changes to our climate. 
That is why I suggest including in your Final Scoping Plan steps
to

·        Reduce vehicle miles traveled

·        Speed up production of zero-emission vehicles

·        Boost recycling rates

·        Auction off any emissions permits

·        Limit offsets

·        Minimize air quality impacts in our most-polluted
communities.

·        I want to end my own production of GHGs. Help me by
creating a Battery Electric Vehicle Partnership. 

·        Please call for fast-tracking regional mass transit
infrastructure, including Bus Rapid Transit programs (especially
on existing freeway HOV lanes), expansion of Amtrak service,
high-speed passenger rail, electrified commercial transport, and
wise locations for transit station locations in neighborhoods.

·        Utilize the powerful carbon reduction potential of zero
waste---- reducing waste by design in manufacturing process, then
reusing, recycling or composting products.

·        Offsets from sinks, such as planting trees or avoiding
tree cut-downs, should not be allowed, since they are too
difficult to measure and often under-perform. 

Thank you very much for all your hard work.
