Comment | Chairman Nichols and Members of the Board: As an environmental professional, I'm writing to thank you for moving forward on implementing the Global Warming Solutions Act (AB 32), and to request that you enact certain modifications to the proposed program prior to adopting it. Specifically, I am concerned with the details of the cap and trade component. By giving away the vast majority of pollution allowances, your proposal would financially reward the biggest polluters. This provides a clear disincentive for polluting businesses to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, and therefore, would weaken the impact of California’s landmark climate bill. Therefore I'm requesting that the final program include requirements that large-scale emitters pay for their emission credits. This will not onl;y helpf fund the program, but also act as a powerful incentive to reduce emissions prior to any "trading". Thank you. Richard Grassetti Principal, Grassetti Environmental Consulting |
