Comment | Dear Air Resources Board: The California Air Resources Board (CARB) on March 27 will revise its Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Program, which put more than 5,000 electric cars on the roads and avoided more than 1 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions (even when factoring in power plant emissions). In 2003, however, changes to the ZEV Program allowed electric cars to disappear as long as automakers promised to produce 25,000 ZEVs in 2012-2014 and 50,000 in 2015-2017. Now the automakers want out of that promise, and CARB will vote on a proposal to weaken the Program again. As a citizen concerned with air quality and global warming, both of which are negatively impacted by CO-2 emissions, I request that you take this opportunity to strengthen our state's ZEV Program, both to help Californians and to set an example which other states can and will follow. Yours truly, Julie Spickler |
