Dear CARB,
 
It is so important that we take this momentous opportunity and
truely put forward a plan that is going to make a difference.
I would ask you to please consider these recommendations for
inclusion in the Final AB32 Scoping Plan:
- The State should auction 100% of permits under the cap. 
Polluters should pay for their emissions, not be given free permits
that subsidize coal and prolong the transition to cleaner energy.
- The Scoping Plan should specify that all auction revenues will
be used to provide a Dividend to compensate consumers.   Given the
state of the economy, helping consumers deal with fuel and
electricity costs is the best use of auction revenues.
- I support CARB's proposal for Carbon Fees on fossil fuel
companies to help fund CARB's implementation of AB32. Carbon Fees
can also provide funding sources for clean technologies, green
jobs, energy efficiency programs, and more. 

This is going to be hard on everyone. Our children are depending
on us to do what is right, not what is easy.

 
Sincerely,
 
Kristin Thigpen
