To date, the Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Program has put 5,000
electric cars on the road with a savings of more than 1 million
metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions once power plant emissions
are factored in. This savings and the health it represents for our
planet is a tribute to the insight and forward thinking of the
people who implemented this program.

When the California Air Resources Board (CARB) meets on March 27,
you will again have an opportunity to build on what has already
been done and further strengthen our resolve to live within the
natural boundries required for a sustainable future. Please act to
maintain the standards set in 2003 that require automakers to
produce 25,00 ZEV's in 2012-2014 and 50,000 in 2015-2017.

Global warming is a critical problem. If we are to maintain the
enivornment within the boundaries we currently know and enjoy, we
must act swiftly to stop polluting the air with more and more
greenhouse gases. Maintaing the standards for ZEV's is a vital
step for controlling our emissions.

Since California is free to impose stricter emission controls than
the federal government, and because at least 10 states are keenly
interested in following California in this matter, California has
an opportunity to lead both the nation and the world towards a
healthier and more sustainable lifestyle.

We owe it to every generation that follows us to pass on to them a
healthy, intact enivornment.

Sincerely,
Tim Sullivan
