Subject | Zero Emission Vehicles mean Cleaner Air for All |
Comment | Dear CARB Chairperson and Board Members: I support Governor Schwarzenegger's agenda to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 25% by 2020. The most promising way to reach this goal is to give consumers the choice to buy Zero-Emission Vehicles (ZEVs), like the Governor's electric Tesla Roadster. Unfortunately, I have heard that you, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) may reduce the number of ZEVs required of automakers by 90%, settling for only 2,500 from 2012-2014. This may help the automobile industry and Big Oil, but it will not be the best we can do to improve our air quality, our health, and the health of our earth. CARB should: 1. Require the full 25,000 ZEVs that automakers had promised for 2012-2014, and 2. Create a separate requirement for plug-in hybrids that lets them replace the dirtiest vehicles in CARB's regulations, rather than the cleanest ZEVs. Choice for consumers means cleaner air for everyone. Thank you. Sincerely, Ruth Ketvirtis Midpines, CA |
