Subject | AB 32 Cap & Trade |
Comment | Dear CARB, There are problems with the Cap & Trade program as described in AB 32. Please take this opportunity to make changes that will improve this program, making it more transparent, equitable, and effecive, and address objections raised by groups (on both sides of the political divide) that are critical of the impacts of AB 32s Cap & Trade program. Please consider making the following changes: 1) Instead of giveaways to polluting industries, CARB could auction 100% of permits. The goal is to reduce emissions, not facilitate them! 2) Rather than unlimited offsets, CARB can strictly limit them. The goal is reduction of GHG emissions! 3) Inequities in the use of allowance value can be addressed with a Cap & Dividend approach that returns revenues back to all Californians equally. Instead of choosing which competing special interest groups should receive the revenue, return it to all Californians, which will raise trust & support for the measure and stimulate local economies. Please incorporate these elements into the environmental analysis. Sincerely, Rose M. Roberts |
