Greetings Governor, Board members and Folks of California

As a west coast neighbor in BC Canada, we share a vision of clear
skies and clean waters. We also have a ways to go. Recent pieces
of the renewable, clean energy cycle have shown a means to  
convert our vehicles and homes in a few hours from fossil fuel
use. Knowing this, would you encourage residents and businesses as
well as legislation to adopt these practices?  

When the colors of the skies become the color of soils, we know
something is wrong. The elements of both air and water
are destined to continue being the fuels of vehicles. It makes
sense to replace the cancerous PAH's, and leave petroleum for
longer lasting purposes of mankind besides fuel.

One of the technologies to assist the transition from fossil
fueled environments comes in the way of electric vehicles.
PLUG-IN America believes electric vehicles are one answer and
wishes legislation to enhance this option.

Our goals for Life, beyond oil eras, needs your focus and
attention. California can gobble up a month of BC's commuter
impact in a single few hours daily commute in Los Angeles, as you
know,yet we have recently finished Globe2008 with a realization...
that it could take less than 7.5 hrs. for the average one house one
car resident to transition off of fossil fuels.  That means turning
the home natural gas line off at the valve and never needing
gasoline, propane, diesel or bio's at the pump,through
retrofitting their present internal combustion engine. Just 7.5
hours from one energy system to a cleaner, purer, GHG-free energy
cycle. Seems too amazing to believe. 

The next step is to gather these five basic technologies under a
common licensing agreement satisfactory to the patent holders and
technology development companies. 

We are living in exciting and wonderful times. If your economy is
based upon biblical precepts,  Leviticus 25:23. The Lord always
owned the land. Man was only a steward. As a social responsibility
to enhance this stewardship role, expand economies and extend
health potentials for the people and planet, possibly the states
interests to respond to global climate changes is incentive enough
to license these technologies as a package?  

Traffic congestion even with clean fuels is another issue.  Your
governments income sources from petroleum fuel taxes will require
substitutes as this transition takes place. Road use taxes based
upon the time an engine operates within urban boundaries,
comparable to Swedish systems, are one way. 

To conclude ... with travel, traffic and coffee breaks, a ten hour
changeover is a viable possibility. Could life be so fantastically
real, that history records your roles both as actor, Governor and
terminator of the fossil fuel age?
