California desperately needs a strong plan of action to both slow
global warming and achieve immediate reductions in  smog and other
dangerous air pollutants.

The CARB is the nations premier advocates for a cleaner living
environment.  Please push hard and making strict and tough
regulations.  Sure it will cost more, sure some jobs will be lost
(And others created), sure it will be hard, but it is so worth the
effort.  The air quality is one of the worst things about
California, and it's something we can fix!

I urge the California  Air Resources Board  to include a stronger
focus on measures to reduce emissions from driving  that
contribute the largest percentage of greenhouse gases  in
California.  The plan should include a much more aggressive
statewide goal for reducing vehicle emissions.  We need ZEV
vehicles and more electric vehicles.  The plan should also include
additional strong regulatory measures on industrial sources to
reduce emissions form petroleum refineries, power plants, cement
manufacturers, and others sources.

It is vitally important the plan demonstrate that the variety of
proposed measures will  not only make rapid progress toward
reducing greenhouse gases, but will also  provide local benefits
to communities in terms of improved air quality and public health.


Thank you for your consideration of my concerns to strengthen
these key strategies in the AB 32 draft scoping plan.
