Thank you for taking global warming seriously and developing a plan
to reduce global warming pollution while at the same time creating
jobs and making California a healthier and more prosperous place to
live.

Parts of the proposal are strong, such as setting a limit that
declines each year, and setting a minimum price on carbon
pollution. This steady price signal will help businesses make
long-term investments in strategies to reduce global warming
emissions. 

The program should be strengthened by requiring more of the state’s
largest polluters to pay for their global warming emissions instead
of giving permits away for free. By forcing polluters to pay for
the emissions they generate by purchasing permits in an auction, we
can then re-invest the auction funds into efforts that will help us
transition to a cleaner economy and help lower energy costs for
Californians
