Comment:
Please ensure that the "A.B. 32 Scoping Plan," to be released publicly in two weeks includes a well-designed cap-and-trade program that puts an absolute limit on pollution from some of California's largest sources and guarantees the environmental results we need. The CARB should include as many sources as possible in this cap-and-trade system and that 80% of California's global warming pollution will be under a cap-and-trade system by 2020. As well, please ensure that there is 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. Finally, please include a new Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) to increase clean energy in our state. In a word, I support CARB's preliminary recommendation that the state immediately adopt a 33% RPS by 2020.
