Thank you for your ongoing work to implement A.B. 32. I am in
support of the recommendations put forth by the Environmental
Defense Fund. They have a keen understanding of the issues that
will effect the success of new energy policies. I urge you to
include the following in the A.B. 32 Scoping Plan:

1. We need a well-designed cap-and-trade program.
Cap-and-trade puts an absolute limit on pollution from some of
California's largest sources and guarantees the environmental
results we need.

Our message: CARB should include as many sources as possible in a
cap-and-trade system. We support CARB's preliminary thinking that
80% of California's global warming pollution would be under a
cap-and-trade system by 2020.
We need an "Indirect Source Rule" (ISR) to control emissions from
development projects.

2. Include an ISR.
CARB should require California's local air districts to develop
ISRs to control emissions from new developments.

3. We need a new Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) to increase
clean energy in our state. We support CARB's preliminary
recommendation that the state immediately adopt a 33% RPS by 2020.


Sincerely,

Lisa Dunmeyer
