| Comment | Please stop the current course of CARB related regulations that will have a very negative consequence for the commercial fishing, sportfishing, and ecotourism fleets of boats in California. It is unreasonable to destroy the livelihood of the countless of small business owners, employees, upstream and downstream customers. Have you considered the carbon footprint and negative impact to the environment that scarping the current, fully serviceable, low emissions, prolusion units from thousands of boats, and replacing them with newly manufactured systems, that at this time don't exist. You must consider the total sum gain or loss of your proposal. What will be done with the obsolete units and at what monetary and environmental cost? How many new natural resources will be used up and how much carbon will be created manufacturing new units? When will the new technology exist at the retail level, and at what monetary and environmental costs will the retooling and creating of new production lines cost? |
