TO: Ms. Nichols
It is vitally important the following three issues are approved
for California's future in order to fight global warming:
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. I believe that we need as many sources as
possible in the cap and trade system.
2. We need an "Indirect Source Rule" (ISR) to control emissions
from development projects.
Also 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.
An RPS is a requirement that a percentage of all energy sold
in California be generated from renewable sources (solar, wind,
biomass, etc). California's current RPS target is 10% by 2010.
I also support CARB's preliminary recommendation that the state
immediately adopt a 33% RPS by 2020.Attachment:
