Comment | Subject: Cap and Trade ARB vote Dec 16 Dear Steve I am an educated, politically active, liberal, environmentally concerned CA resident and it is by total coincidence that I know anything about CA's push towards cap and trade. In other words, the few back page articles in the SF Chron were easy to miss and I certainly never saw the specifics about the California Environmental Protection Agency | AIR RESOURCES BOARD ARB Emissions Trading Program until today. What did catch my eye was the Chron's news last week that the majority of Californians support cap and trade. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2010/12/09/BUNB1GNPUA.DTL Although I am not a certified pollster, I humbly challege whoever took this poll... I have been informally polling my educated, active peer group about this subject for the last month and no one even knew what cap and trade meant... other than it was some way to fix the carbon pollution problem. Sad but true. So I don't know how a majority of Californians support cap and trade when I can't find one smart person who even understands it. I have many questions and concerns about cap and trade not just for CA but for the Country and for the world. The first and maybe least important is: Where was the California Environmental Protection Agency | AIR RESOURCES BOARD ARB Emissions Trading Program and the call for comments published for CA residents to read and reply? ( I found out totally by coincidence through a friend.) The second is: what does this vote mean? The third is: how can my voice be heard? This email to you is a partial answer to my third question...I want the Air Resources Control Board to know that there is at least one person outside SAC's closed doors who is concerned about the concept of cap and trade. Common sense tells me this is just another Ponzi scheme that will make a few people very rich and the rest of us poorer than we are now, while the planet continues to be polluted. So for the record of comments, I am against the California Environmental Protection Agency | AIR RESOURCES BOARD ARB Emissions Trading Program, and think most Californians, if they really understood what is being promoted, would be against it too. Thank you for the opportunity to comment. The favor of your reply is requested. Gael Perrin Novato, CA |
