Thank You CARB for the opportunity to attend your AB-32 Draft
Scoping Plan workshop today and for the great job on creating the
draft plan.

I have the following comments:

 * I agree with many of the speakers who said that Land Use is a
vital area that should be addressed in the plan.  My suggestion is
that local governments should be required to submit an anticipated
Green House Gases environmental impact report for any new large
development project and not exceed CARB limits before they can
proceed with development.


 * I would like to see some specific language that commits
communities to include their plans for bicycle and pedestrian
traffic as well as accessibility to Mass transit from all parts of
the community.

 * I'm a supporter of subsidizing ZEVs and PHEVs via fee
reductions or rebates to encourage the adoption of clean
vehicles.

 * The State should strongly encourage and promote the
installation of Solar Thermal water and space heating in
businesses and residences. This investment has a potential of a
faster return on investment than PV.  It should also continue to
support and encourage Solar PV installation for homes and
businesses.

 * No Nukes Please !  I don't care how revolutionary the latest
nuclear technology is, if it produces radio active waste, has the
potential for a disaster and requires a lot of water, it's too
risky. Safer and more renewable alternatives exists today which
can meet our needs. We don't need Nuclear to meet our targets.

Sincerely,


Marc Fontana
