We need more cars that are powered by American electrons to clean
our air and save the country from oil-fired trade deficits.  We
are addicted to oil, and we need CARB to help move the country to
kick our addiction.
The number of Zero Emission Vehicles (ZEVs) proposed by CARB staff
will allow automakers to backslide on their 2003 agreement and
require just 2,500 true ZEVs from 2012 to 2014. Startups alone
plan to introduce this many ZEVs; surely the major automakers can
do better and not manipulate the system with credits. I ask that:
(1) you require the full 25,000 ZEVs between 2012 and 2014 that
the automakers lobbied for and agreed to in 2003; (2) that you
implement a level playing field between all types of ZEVs to get
clean cars on the roads of Califorania; and (3) provide incentives
for plug-in hybrids by taking from the dirtiest cars, not the
cleanest ones.
