Hello
CARB,
I would like to
respectfully oppose the adoption of the Advanced Clean Fleets rule
as it attempts to transition the transportation industry too
quickly without a realistic consideration of the necessary
infrastructure required to overhaul the state’s power
grid.
I do agree that
ZEV's are usefull for light duty fleets and a great way to make a
big impact on air pollutants quickly. This will be effective but I
believe can be completed without such a hardline approach towards
ICE vehicles. I urge you to reconsider your stance against
combustion engine vehicles because of how much progress has been
made in their efficiency. Keeping them as a viable option for
California residences will allow the state to become "diversified"
in our energy dependence. Just as you would diversify your
investment portfolio to withstand volatility, California should
adopt a diversified energy approach in order to reduce dependence
on any one type of energy.
Thanks, Colin Szehner
