| Comment | American consumers must have the choice to drive zero-emission
vehicles now, not wait for another decade to pass, especially with
global warming threatening the planet and the cost of oil
skyrocketing.
The CA Air Resources Board (CARB) on March 27 must revise its Zero
Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Program, and put more than 5,000 electric
cars on the roads and avoid more than 1 million metric tons of
carbon dioxide emissions (even when factoring in power plant
emissions).
In 2003 changes to the ZEV Program allowed electric cars to
disappear as long as automakers promised to produce 25,000 ZEVs in
2012-2014 and 50,000 in 2015-2017.
Now automakers want out of that promise, and CARB will vote on a
proposal to weaken the Program again.
WE CANNOT ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN !
