Dear CARB,
Please see the attached comments on the Final AB32 Scoping Plan.
In summary, we recommend:
- The State should auction 100% of permits under the cap.
Polluters should pay for their emissions, not be given free permits
that subsidize coal and prolong the transition to cleaner energy.
- The Scoping Plan should specify that all auction revenues will
be used to provide a Dividend to compensate consumers. Given the
state of the economy, helping consumers deal with fuel and
electricity costs is the best use of auction revenues. More
information on consumer compensation is available at
www.capanddividend.org and www.carbonshare.org.
- We support CARB's proposal for Carbon Fees on fossil fuel
companies to help fund CARB's implementation of AB32. Carbon Fees
can also provide funding sources for clean technologies, green
jobs, energy efficiency programs, and more.
Sincerely,
Mike Sandler
