Comment | Governor Schwarzenegger has an agenda to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 25% by 2020 in California. The most promising way to reach this goal is to give consumers the choice to buy Zero-Emission Vehicles (ZEVs), like the electric Tesla Roadster. Unfortunately, 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. I request the appointed CARB chair, Mary Nichols, to 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. |
