Dear Chair Mary Nichols,

As a longtime member of Enviornmantal Defense Fund I urge
you to realize how important the following three issues are to
California's future and to our groundbreaking efforts 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.

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.

2) We need an "Indirect Source Rule" (ISR) to control emissions
from development projects.

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.

Thank you for your time and consideration,

Respectfuly,

K Drummond
