Comment | California Interfaith Power and Light supports the timely implementation of the Cap and Trade program and commends ARB on the release of the proposed regulation. We support many of the provisions and find that others need to be strengthened. We oppose ARB's excessive reliance on free allocations for the electricity sector. We support ARB's proposal for full auction in the transportation sector beginning in 2015. CIPL opposes the wide use of offsets as it will do nothing to improve air quality in communities where large polluters using offsets are located. CIPL also urges ARB to provide specific direction for the Community Benefits Fund and to set aside at least four percent of allowances from the industrial and electricity sectors at the beginning of the Cap and Trade program. Our more extensive comments are attached. Thank you for your consideration. |
