| Comment | Dear CARB, I have several comments regarding the proposed cap and trade regulations: Permit Price Floor: Thank you for including a permit price floor starting at $10/ton - essential to stabilize prices so businesses can plan. Dividend Check: I urge you to follow your expert economic panel’s recommendation that “The largest share (roughly 75%) of allowance value should be returned to California households...” in the form of a dividend check. Transportation fuels sector: I support the upstream point of regulation and auctioning 100% of permits. Industrial sector: The free allocations are excessive and should be reduced. Electricity sector: The final regulation should direct utilities to protect ratepayers by returning allowance value directly to residential customers as a rebate check. Sincerely, Stacey Meinzen |
