My family and I are greatly concerned about global warming and air
pollution. In this regard we would like to state that we
Californians 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. It is essential that CARB 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. Developers measure indirect (mostly vehicle
and energy use) pollution from construction and operation of
projects and ensure that equivalent reductions occur so the
project's impacts are limited.It is essential that 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.We support CARB's preliminary recommendation
that the state immediately adopt a 33% RPS by 2020.

Thank you for listening to the concerns of my family and I
