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. -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. -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. I support CARB's preliminary recommendation that the state immediately adopt a 33% RPS by 2020.
