First, offer no-interest loans to California small businesses
undertaking zero-emission projects when a Moyer grant is awarded.
Many of the sportfishing operators and short-run ferries are small,
family-run, women or minority businesses that cannot possibly find
financing for these big projects.

Second, increase funding for zero-emission maritime projects
specifically for onshore charging infrastructure. By making
zero-emission electric/hydrogen repowers easier than going diesel,
California will gain enormously because electric/hydrogen solutions
reduce climate change emissions.

Third, technology is changing rapidly. For those adopting green
technology, California should create a fund for adopting new
battery technology, new emissions controls and new green hydrogen
storage so early adopters are not penalized for going first and
continue to innovate as new technology becomes available.
