| Comment | Thank you for taking meaningful steps to address global warming
emissions.
The program will help in making California a leader in clean
energy, stimulate our economy and creating jobs.
Setting both limits on pollution that decline with time and having
a minimum price are a good start. The industries that have been
contributing carbon to the atmosphere shouldn't be rewarded by
getting free allocations. Instead we need a free market that
auctions off the available permit allocation and uses the funds to
pursue additional actions that can help reduce emissions in other
ways.
Such funds could be used for programs to reduce energy use in
buildings and to boost public transit options.
Again thanks for taking strong actions. California can continue to
lead the U.S. in showing that increasing energy efficiency benefits
both the economy and the environment.
