Comment:
I urge you and the Board to continue the implementation of strong global warming regulations in California so that we cut our state's global warming pollution by 30% by 2020. The following three issues are very important to me and to California's future and to the groundbreaking efforts to fight global warming: We need a well-designed cap-and-trade program. 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. 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. Please include a target of 10% by 2010. I support CARB's preliminary recommendation that the state immediately adopt a 33% RPS by 2020. Thank you for your consideration.
