I support the Governor's agenda to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
25% by 2020, (at the very least!). One of the most promising ways
to reach this goal is to give as many consumers as possible the
choice to buy Zero-Emission Vehicles (ZEVs).

Rumor has it that the California Air Resources Board (CARB) may
reduce the number of ZEVs required of automakers by 90%, settling
for only 2,500 from 2012-2014. This is an unacceptable, as the
amount is too insignificant to have any affect.

Mary Nichols, will you please seriously consider the following:
 
1. Require the full 25,000 ZEVs that automakers had promised for
2012-2014, and
2. Create a separate requirement for plug-in hybrids that lets
them replace the dirtiest vehicles in CARB's regulations, rather
than the cleanest ZEVs.
More ZEV's means cleaner air for everyone.
