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