| Comment | The auto makers, understandably, want the least requirements and
profit in the short term. However, we as a state and as a society
cannot afford to think only in terms of immediate monetary profit.
Our health concerns and our environment require that we do not
renege on the commitment to increase the numbers of zero-emission
vehicles [ZEV] on our road.
I ask please that the Air Resources Board live up to its name and
its mission - both retain and strengthen its ZEV goals and the
requirements on auto manufacturers.
As the most populous state in the union, California is logically
and ethically the appropriate place to show leadership in this
area which affects us, and all the states, and the planet.
Thank you.
