Comment:
Dear Chair Nichols, Board members, and staff,

Please include in the Final Scoping Plan:

- The State should auction 100% of emission permits under the cap.
Companies bringing fossil fuel into the California economy should
pay for their emissions. The right to emit GHG should not be given
away. Doing so subsidizes fossil fuel such as oil and coal, and
prolongs the transition to clean, renewable energy.
- The State should use all auction revenue to provide a Dividend
to compensate consumers on a per capita basis.  Given our high
fossil fuel prices, helping consumers protects California's
economy, addresses the regressive impacts of increasing fossil
fuel prices, speeds the transition to renewables, ensures the
durability of climate solutions, and is therefore the fairest and
most powerful 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.

Thank you for all your work.

Sincerely,

Ann Hancock
