Comment | Chairman Nichols 1001 I Street Sacramento, CA 95812 Dear Chairman Nichols, I am writing to support strengthening the "advanced clean cars" proposal to increase the numbers of Zero Emission Vehicles on California roads. Too many people are suffering from the burden of dirty air in California, especially those with existing respiratory ailments like asthma, as well as children and the elderly. The car companies must step up their production of cleaner vehicles and especially battery electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. People in my community need clean vehicle choices. I urge you to adopt the highest possible requirements for zero emission vehicle technology and believe that the ZEV program is necessary to achieving clean, healthy air in California for generations to come. While the proposed rule is targeting 1.4 million vehicles, the Air Board should push for a stronger ZEV program target of 2 million electric-drive vehicles by 2025. I also strongly support the "Clean Fuels Outlet" program to require oil companies to provide alternative fuels. A strong clean cars program can prevent thousands of asthma attacks and save billions of dollars each year in health care costs, according to American Lung Association in California. Thank you for maintaining California's leadership in the fight for cleaner, healthier air. Sincerely, Mr. Jack Frost 4253 Meadow Lark Dr Calabasas, CA 91302-1848 |
