| Comment | On March 27, the California Air Resources Board will revise the
history-making program that put more than 5,000 Zero Emission
Vehicles (ZEVs) on the road.
But the CARB staff has issued a proposal that, instead of
propelling our country ahead toward a pollution-free future, will
profoundly weaken the program once again. This proposal would
require automakers to produce only about 150 ZEVs each per year
through 2015 — which amounts to less than what these influential
regulators mandated in 2003.
Instead, I urge the CARB for a stronger proposal that puts more
ZEVs on the roads, and helps move California toward the future.
During a period of time when our country calls to reduce reliance
on foreign oil, we need to have more alternative-energy cars on
the road, not less!
