| Comment | Climate change is
wreaking havoc on our wolrd, especially here in California with the
escalating wildfire problems and drought. We are running out
of time to do something about this and to prevent the massive
suffering that will happen if we do nothing. California is a
world leader, and can set a great example for other states and
countries. We need to scale up investment in zero-emission
and mass transportation options that work for our communities.
Clean cars, clean trucks and transit must be accessible and
affordable to working-class Californians. We call on CARB to:
- 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 quick action on these actions that will make a
difference. We don't have time to wait.
Sincerely,
Katherine Young, MD
