Comment:
Dear CARB, Thank you VERY MUCH for your work on the Draft AB32 Scoping Plan to reduce California's GHGs by 2020. This is critical work, especially setting goals for the State to increase renewable energy and reduce vehicle miles traveled. Please consider these recommendations on behalf of myself, Raymond Baltar (all California residents) for inclusion in the Final Scoping Plan: - The State should 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. Future generations must be protected! - The Scoping Plan should specify that some auction revenues will be used to provide a Dividend to compensate consumers. With food, gasoline, natural gas, and electricity prices all increasing, helping consumers deal with food, fuel and electricity costs is a good use of auction revenues. - We strongly support CARB's proposal for Carbon Fees on fossil fuel companies to help fund CARB's implementation of AB32. Carbon Fees should also provide funding sources for clean technologies, green jobs, energy efficiency programs, and more.
