Two years ago when Governor Schwarzenegger signed A.B. 32 into law
he made a bold step toward insuring the reduction of Global
warming pollution by 30% by the year 2020, I began to believe that
we here in California would set the standard for the rest of our
nation in beginning to fight the devastating effects that Global
Warming is already having on our weather, wildlife, worldwide food
supplies and all of the changes that are so rapidly happening in
our environment around the world.
I believe that following 3 issues are extremely important to
California’s future and our groundbreaking efforts to fight global
warming:

1.	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.
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.

I hope you will continue to make progress on the vitally needed
changes and that our future efforts here in California will set
the standard for the rest of our Country.
