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?
