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.  I am glad that the proposed program will decrease global
warming emissions from the state’s largest polluters and establish
a market price on these emissions. 

I would like to recommend that the program 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—such as making
homes and businesses more energy efficient, increasing public
transit options, and developing wind and solar projects in
California.
