Hello,
I'm writing in regard to the board's 2022 Scoping Plan.
California needs to take bold actio and scale up investment in
zero-emission and mass transportation options that work for our
communities. Clean automobiles and transit must be accessible and
affordable to working-class Californians.
I call upon CARB to take the following actions to help create a
future beyond oil and gas in California, one that provides us all
access to healthy air and clean, reliable transportation:
- Roll out a full, coordinated phase
out of fossil fuels, with targets for oil refining by 2045, oil and
gas extraction by 2035, and a clean electric grid by 2035.
- Accelerate and scale up
investments in clean cars, trucks, and mass transit for working
class Californians across the state.
- Eliminate reliance on climate
policy dead ends like Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage
(CCUS) on polluting fuel sources.
Please take the bold action needed to help us avoid climate
catastrophe and create a better California.
