Subject: Cap-and-Trade Program
Comment:
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. I 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.  CARB should require California's local air
districts to develop ISRs to control emissions from new
developments.  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 from renewable sources
(solar, wind, biomass, etc). California's current RPS target is
10% by 2010.  I support CARB's preliminary recommendation that the
state immediately adopt a 33% RPS by 2020.
