Hello, my name is Monserrat, I am a resident of Victorville,
and I’m speaking on the CARB SCOPING PLAN. 


I’m
commenting because: 



CARB needs to
create more ambitious plans to stop the environmental injustices
ongoing in our state and prevent the worst impacts of climate
catastrophe


In our rapidly
deteriorating climate, CARB wants to keep burning gas and
even wants
to build more gas plants.


Burning gas harms
the lungs and health of my community


We need CARB to
create the equitable road to zero emissions by 2035 in the electric
sector for the health of both our people and our planet


“I live
in Victorville,
and the air
quality affects me and my family because there are lots of sand
storms that throw the air everywhere."





In the
CARB Scoping Plan, I am asking the Board
to: 




Not include any
new gas plants. Exclude any new investments in fossil fuel
infrastructure and pursue renewable energy.


Pursue direct
emissions reductions rather than gambling on carbon capture and
other unproven technologies.


Reduce emissions
from the transportation sector


 
Ensure the Scoping Plan  reaches zero emissions in
the electric sector by 2035.
