Greetings
I am writing on behalf of Global Exchange and our Freedom from Oil
campaign. I first want to commend your work on the strenuous Pavely
proceedings, protecting the health of every CA resident from the
auto industries ill concern for public safety, and laying out
steps to achieve a clean and healthy transportation paradigm. It
is in this same vain that we again look to CARB to re-institute
the commitment made to the state of CA, mandating the introduction
of at least 25,000 ZEV's on CA roads between 2012-2014, as agreed
upon by the auto industry. In addition, CARB can play, once again,
a pivotal role in jumpstarting a zero emission transportation
future. We call for CARB to create a separate requirement for
plug-in hybrids that allows PHEV's to replace the dirtiest
vehicles in CARB's regulations, and secondly, create
incentives that prioritize plug-in hybrids that have the most
on-board electricity storage.
While these are only steps in creating an emission free
transportation future, it will again show that CARB and the state
of CA are leaders in creating a pathway to clean vehicles and
creating climate plans that continue to be adopted nationally. As
we contiue to see, the decisions we make for CA transcend far
beyond just our state's boarders.
Thanks you for your time and consideration
Sincerely,
Nick Magel
