Comment:
Over all the plan is moving in the right direction. I support the Sierra Club California comments of which I have followed and commented on thier development. The comemnts would strenghen the final plan. As International Vice Presidnet of the Club I would particularly point out the Club's concerns in the sections dealing with cap and trade and concerns for equity interests as well as hope California will not extend the offsets and trading internationally at this time. I join concenrs as to avoiding tagreements for any WCI activities that allow looser requirements for offsets. As a citizen involved in my local town efforts to reduce emmissions as well as watching the very large proposed development for the Concord Weapons station I feel that more can be done ot foce local government and builders to develop in a more friendly fashion. The draft plan needs more specifics on how industries will be required to look at alternatives to present high emmissions. Where feasable there should be consideration of changes needed to address the carbon emmssions released by products imported into the state for use by the Califronia consumers especially as they related to products made overseas by Califronia based companies. I would like to see more assessment of the opportunities provided by Community Choice Aggregation and an increase on opportunities gained from placing greater priority on zero waste includding requiring producers to take responsibility for end of life dispositioin of thier products.
