Thank you for the opportunity to comment. The car loan for my 2016
Mirai is paid off, and I am the first owner. As a retiree on a
fixed income and a Californian who cares about my carbon footprint,
I'm asking CARB to preserve the HRI provisions unchanged. FCEV
drivers have borne the cost for the reduced value of carbon
credits. Many have gone back to gasoline fueled options because of
the cost. It is much more expensive buying H2 now than it was when
the credits were valued at $100 - $150/MTCO2. Elimination of the
HRI program jeopardizes the fragile business model needed to
maintain and expand the LIGHT DUTY H2 infrastructure that I
absolutely depend on, unless I dip into my savings to purchase or
lease another car. I love my zero emissions Mirai and the redundant
infrastructure I enjoy in Orange County. It's more expensive than
gasoline, but as a retiree, its one way I can reduce my carbon
footprint. I need the Board to allow me to continue doing just
that. Thank you, Mark Mobley
