| Comment | Thank you for taking climate change seriously.
Nevertheless, I strongly recommend that the program be strengthened
by requiring more of the state’s largest polluters to pay for their
global warming emissions instead of giving permits away for free.
By forcing polluters to pay for the emissions they generate by
purchasing permits in an auction, we can then re-invest the auction
funds into efforts that will help us transition to a cleaner
economy and help lower energy costs for Californians—such as making
homes and businesses more energy efficient, increasing public
transit options, and developing wind and solar projects in
California.
Thank you for your serious consideration on this issue and on the
implications of continuing to let the big polluters get away with
too much.
