| Subject | Global Warming - Proposed Cap |
| Comment | Parts of the proposal are strong, such as setting a limit that declines each year, and setting a minimum price on carbon pollution, However, 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—such as making homes and businesses more energy efficient, increasing public transit options, and developing wind and solar projects in California. |
