Comment:
I am seriously concerned by the inequitable impact of the climate
crisis on our citizens and ask that you please consider these
recommendations for inclusion in the Final Scoping Plan:
-   that the State auction 100% of permits under the cap. 
Polluters should pay for their emissions, not be given free
permits that subsidize coal and prolong the transition to cleaner
energy.
-   that the Scoping Plan specify that all auction revenues will
be used 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.
-    I support CARB's proposal for Carbon Fees on fossil fuel
companies to help fund CARB's implementation of AB32.    Carbon
Fees can also provide funding sources for clean technologies,
green jobs, energy efficiency programs, and more.
