| Comment | Regardless of ones view of the validity of anthropogenic global
warming, the steps for reducing carbon emissions are a must. From
a national security standpoint and from a health standpoint we must
wean ourselves from burning fixed fossil fuels. Thousands die
annually from the effects of fossil fuel based pollution. Strict
regulation may be painful but in the long run it is the only way to
foster the changes we need to carry us through the middle of this
century. How would our economy be if California had not relaxed
the implementation of electric vehicles? How many lives would have
been saved by now? How do board members live with the
understanding that their rulings literally determine morbidity and
mortality rates.
Please think about your legacy and make this bill as strong as it
can be. There is so much more at stake than just greenhouse gases.
Thank you for your serious consideration. I would be delighted to
discuss this at length with anyone who is interested.
Very best,
Jay Jones
Professor of Biology and Biochemistry
