Subject | "Cap and Trade" policies to implement AB32 |
Comment | Chairman Nichols and Members of the Board: I am excited to see that the California Air Resources Board (CARB), is moving forward on implementing the Global Warming Solutions Act (AB 32). As the overwhelming defeat of Prop 23 this last November showed us, the public is ready for California to take the necessary steps to reduce our contributions to climate change. While I agree with many of the steps outlined in the AB 32 Scoping Plan, I am concerned by the over-allowance of free pollution credits to the industrial sector in the Cap & Trade Design. I urge you to revisit, revise, and phase out free allocation to the industrial sector. "Cap and Trade" is simply not a viable way to implement the measures necessary to meet AB32 goals. Please take advantage of the favorable public climate that California currently enjoys around addressing climate change and implementing AB 32 by taking much-needed bold actions and removing the massive allowance giveaways outlined in the current rules. Thank you. Anastasia Nicole |
