Subject: Auction 100%, Study Regressivity, Compensate Consumers
Comment:
 
On behalf of the Climate Protection Campaign, we ask the ARB to
consider the following recommendations for the market measures
section of the Final Scoping Plan:
- Auction 100% of permits, with no phase-in. Let's not subsidize
coal and prolong the transition to cleaner energy. 
- Use all auction revenues to provide a Dividend to compensate
consumers.  With gasoline at $4.50/gallon and rising electricity
prices, helping consumers deal with fuel and electricity costs is
the best use of auction revenues. Other worthy projects should be
funded with carbon fees. 

We support CARB's intention to conduct a study on regressivity,
encourage the Cap and Dividend concept as a potential solution,
and also support ARB's proposal for a set of carbon fees to help
pay for implementation of AB32 and other public goods such as
clean technologies, green jobs, energy efficiency programs, and
more.
 
Please see the attached detailed comments.  Thank you for your
consideration.
 
Sincerely,
 
Mike Sandler
Climate Protection Campaign
