I am writing to voice my support for implementing AB 32 via a
carbon tax and regulating specific pollution sources. Let's make
California a leader in successfully curbing greenhouse gases in an
efficient and effective way.

    Carbon Tax. This is a much more transparent approach to pricing
carbon. Also, the revenues go to the state, which can use it to
close the budget gap, re-fund our public transportation systems,
schools, and social services, and invest in green energy. We the
People need that money more than Chevron does – make polluters
pay!
    Regulate specific pollution sources. A carbon tax makes it more
expensive to pollute, but does not always guarantee less pollution.
That’s why it’s a good idea to combine this policy with strict
enforcement of clean air laws with the biggest polluters, such as
oil refineries, making sure to clean up the environment for the
communities that live around them.

Sincerely,
