Dear Chairman Nichols,
I am writing to support strengthening the "advanced clean cars"
proposal to increase the numbers of Zero Emission Vehicles on
California roads. Too many people are suffering from the burden of
dirty air in California, especially those with existing
respiratory
ailments like asthma, as well as children and the elderly. The
car
companies must step up their production of cleaner vehicles and
especially battery electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.
People in my community need clean vehicle choices.
I urge you to adopt the highest possible requirements for zero
emission vehicle technology and believe that the ZEV program is
necessary to achieving clean, healthy air in California for
generations to come.
While the proposed rule is targeting 1.4 million vehicles, the Air
Board should push for a stronger ZEV program target of 2 million
electric-drive vehicles by 2025. I also strongly support the "Clean
Fuels Outlet" program to require oil companies to provide
alternative fuels.
A strong clean cars program can prevent thousands of asthma attacks
and save billions of dollars each year in health care costs,
according to American Lung Association in California. Thank you for
maintaining California's leadership in the fight for cleaner,
healthier air.
Sincerely,
Mr. Jack Frost
