Subject: NO to Cap and Trade: Bad for California
Comment:
Every industry uses energy. Every industry in CA would have an increase in costs if you adopt Cap and Trade. Making goods in CA would become MORE expensive. CA industry would diminish, shrink, as industry moves elsewhere. Lesser-skilled labor would find fewer opportunities. Costs for CA goods would increase, become less competitive. More foreign and out-of-state goods would be imported for sale to Californians. How is this good for CA industry, lesser-skilled workers, CA unemployment situation, or residents who need goods for daily survival? Seems highly damaging to in-state residents for possible incremental betterment of a transient media (air). I could more support national or international air emission standards. This proposed action is wrong - so detrimental to economy. Why would CARB brandish another weapon opposing California's economic recovery?
