Comment:
I believe these additional measures will greatly augment the positive changes that this bill is creating. Make polluters pay for their emissions of greenhouse gases, using the resulting revenues to promote clean energy and aid low-income consumers. Limit sharply and verify any offsets. Do not link our program to any states with weaker emission standards. · Include stronger measures to reform land use planning in ways that reduce vehicle miles traveled. · Promote and enable Community Choice Electricity Aggregation (CCA), which lets communities pool their buying power to generate clean power. · Mandate that auto companies sell hundreds of thousands of Zero-Emission Vehicles (ZEVs) by 2014, not the feeble proposed level of 7500 ZEVs. · Put Zero Waste front and center: increase recycling by businesses, mandate building facilities to compost all green waste, and require producers to take responsibility for the end-of-life disposition of their products.
