This is the way to reach the goal, give consumers the choice to
buy Zero-Emission Vehicles!
The only way that auto manufacturers will offer to the general
public what we want and the environment needs is to reinstate the
ZEV mandate from a decade ago.
The state government is supposed to represent the people and not
let big industry change policies so the they can further their
profits at the expense of damaging the environment. The oil
industry has quite an influence on what comes out of Detroit but
you have the power to give our future generations a breath of
fresh, (unpolluted) air.
Don't let the automotive industry dictate what CARB will do. Do
the right thing for us all, CARB isn't about industry making money
but instead it was put in place to protect the people of Southern
California and possibly the rest of the country as well.  Please
don't let the industry undermine all the good that CARB has  done.
I know we all need to do our part to make this world a better place
for future generations and for ourselves. We must move ahead and
force the oil industry from the  lordship it has over how we get
around in this state. 
  You have the power to get this started, [again]!

Unfortunately, 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.
Don't let this happen! We can achieve this goal but we must all
make sacrifices, so I ask you to do your part is representing the
people of California.

Please: 
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, and
don't let them replace the requirement for battery electric
vehicles, but rather the dirty gas guzzlers.

A choice for [us] consumers means cleaner air for everyone. Please
give us the power to make a difference!
Sincerely,
Dennis Balloy
