I am in support of the Environmental Defense Fund's list of
priorities for California's efforts to reduce global warming:

  1. 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.
   2. 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.
   3. We need a new Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) to increase
clean energy in our state. We support CARB's preliminary
recommendation that the state immediately adopt a 33% RPS by
2020.
