Subject: Draft AB 32 Scoping Plan - recommendations
Comment:
Dear CARB,
 
I appreciate your work on the draft AB32 Scoping Plan to reduce
California's GHGs.

I think you goals for Calif. to increase renewable energy and
reduce vehicle miles traveled are particularly important.  I would
immediately use renewable energy sources were they more readily
available.

I’m asking you to also include these recommendations for inclusion
in the Final Scoping Plan:

*  Calif. should auction 100% of permits under the cap.  Polluters
should pay for their emissions, not be given free permits that
subsidize coal.  This prolongs the transition to cleaner energy,
omething we cannot afford.

*  The Scoping Plan should specify that all auction revenues will
be used to provide a dividend to compensate consumers for the
higher energy and consumer goods prices that have and will
continue to come as we move to a low-no carbon economy.  

Helping consumers deal with fuel and electricity costs is the best
use of auction revenues, because it will help cement consumer
political support for this program and keep it moving ahead.

*  I support CARB's proposal for Carbon Fees on fossil fuel
companies to help fund CARB's implementation of AB32. I know you
will get strong opposition from many large companies and interests
on this.  Please inlcude carbon fees to  provide funding for clean
technologies, green jobs, energy efficiency programs, and more.

Thank you for your attention and concern to these items.

Sincerely,
 
Vicki Mayster
