Comment:
While CARB's Draft Scoping Plan includes a number of strong
measures, including a call for 33% of electricity to be generated
by clean, renewable energy by 2020, the draft needs significant
strengthening before it will be up to meeting the challenge of
combating global warming.  Please consider the following:  
-  Make polluters pay for their emissions of greenhouse gases,
using the resulting revenues to promote clean energy. Limit
sharply and verify any offsets. Do not link our program to any
states with weaker emission standards. 
-  Include stronger measures to reform land use planning in ways
that reduce vehicle miles traveled.
-  Promote and enable Community Choice Electricity Aggregation
(CCA), which lets communities pool their buying power to generate
clean power.
-  Mandate that auto companies sell hundreds of thousands of
Zero-Emission Vehicles (ZEVs) by 2014.
-  Put Zero Waste front and center:  increase recycling by
businesses, mandate building facilities to compost all green
waste, and require producers to take responsibility for the
end-of-life disposition of their products.
