Dear CARB,

California can continue to lead the United States toward sound and
effective climate policy.  Your inclusion of the following
recommendations in the Final AB32 Scoping Plan will help every
state, and our nation as a whole, solve the climate crisis.

1) The State should auction 100% of permits under the cap. 
Polluters must pay for their emissions.  Polluters must not be
given free permits that subsidize coal and prolong the transition
to cleaner energy. This ensures a level playing field for true
market economics to drive the transition.

2) 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.

3) I support CARB's proposal for Carbon Fees on fossil fuel
companies to help fund CARB's implementation of AB32. Carbon Fees
can provide funding sources for clean technologies, green jobs,
energy efficiency programs, and more.
 
Thank you for your work, and for your leadership, on our number
one problem/solution opportunity.

Best Regards,
Tom Danaher
