Subject: INVESTMENT PLAN FOR AUCTION PROCEEDS
Comment:
We believe the investment plan should include leveraging private
developers investment into more projects.  The number of APPROVED
METHODOLOGY STANDARDS must be expanded from the restricted 7 and
should match those in the Voluntary Carbon Standard and Compliance
carbon worlds.  

We are developing a 76,000 acre AFFORESTATION project using HDSR
(high density short rotation)Megaflora trees that will provide a
sustainably harvested fuel supply of 6,000,000 trees a year while
maintaining a 10,000,000 tree / ton carbon sink per year.  The
trees will be turned into bio-diesel with a 70% reduced footprint
over standard diesel, and renewable electricity, creating VCUs, and
if I wheel some power to Mexico, CERs.

Investment proceeds should be used in the registration of these
offset projects that creates the carbon credits that can be forward
traded at a discount to provide equity for equipment and project
financing.  The State needs to leverage this market mechanism,
participate in the carbon flow, creating a sustainable fund.
