Dear Chair Nichols, Board members, and staff, Please include in the Final Scoping Plan: - The State should auction 100% of emission permits under the cap. Companies bringing fossil fuel into the California economy should pay for their emissions. The right to emit GHG should not be given away. Doing so subsidizes fossil fuel such as oil and coal, and prolongs the transition to clean, renewable energy. - The State should use all auction revenue to provide a Dividend to compensate consumers on a per capita basis. Given our high fossil fuel prices, helping consumers protects California's economy, addresses the regressive impacts of increasing fossil fuel prices, speeds the transition to renewables, ensures the durability of climate solutions, and is therefore the fairest and most powerful 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. Thank you for all your work. Sincerely, Ann Hancock Climate Protection Campaign www.climateprotectioncampaign.org |
