| Comment | Chairman Nichols and Members of the Board: I am excited to see that the California Air Resources Board (CARB), is moving forward on implementing the Global Warming Solutions Act (AB 32). As the overwhelming defeat of Prop 23 this last November showed us, the public is ready for California to take the necessary steps to reduce our contributions to climate change. In regard to AB 32 Scoping Plan/Cap & Trade Design seems to allow too many free pollution credits to the industrial sector. Please consider revision to level of free allocation to the industrial sector. Studies have found that subsidizing these industries impedes obtaining a cleaner economy. An effective process for allocation to the industrial sector should be based on specified evaluation metrics. The favorable public climate that California currently enjoys will continue and expand with AB 32. It requires bold actions and removal of the massive allowance giveaways outlined in the current rules. Thank you. |
