| Comment | Dear CARB,
Thank you for including a permit price floor starting at $10/ton.
In the transportation sector, I support the upstream point of
regulation and auctioning 100% of permits.
In the industrial sector, the free allocations are excessive and
should be scaled way back.
In the electricity sector, you should return allowance value
directly to consumers through equal monthly dividends wired to
their bank accounts. There is no need to use the utilities as
middle-men. Follow your own expert panel’s recommendation that
“the largest share (roughly 75%) of allowance value should be
returned to California households...” in the form of per capita
dividends.
