Comment | My Name is Ed Ward I am asking for your no-vote regarding to Advanced Clean Fleets. I believe we are obligated to leave this planet better than we found it. I applaud the uncelebrated gains in air quality we have achieved in California. The extreme compliance schedule and the bet that our electrical infrastructure will catch up are unrealistic. There are over 8 exemptions built into this proposal designed to offload responsibility for nonperformance to truck owners. CARB, Utilities, and Municipalities face no penalties for these extreme goals. Technology to deliver cleaner tailpipe emissions is changing rapidly. The cost difference between an internal combustion engine truck and a ZEV truck equivalent can be over a quarter million dollars. The measure should be emissions, not age. The ACF program violates the trust of our most impacted communities. Many of our small fleet owners come from these communities. When extreme deadlines are not met, who will explain to these communities what happened? |
