I urge the California Air Resources Board to consider the following
recommendations for inclusion in the Final AB32
Scoping Plan:

AUCTION PERCENTAGE
I urge the State to auction 100 percent of permits under the cap.
It is important that polluters pay for their emissions, not be
given free permits that subsidize coal and
prolong the transition to cleaner energy. This criterion is at the
heart of making a successful transition to a clean energy system.

DIVIDEND SYSTEM
The Scoping Plan should specify that all auction revenues will be
used to
provide a Dividend to compensate consumers. The current state of
the
economy makes it vitally important to help consumers deal with
fuel and electricity costs and providing dividends will act as an
economic stimulus at a time when we need it most.

CARBON FEES
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.

Sincerely,
Chris Cone
