Subject: Major auto manufacturers increasing SUV Production
Comment:
Can our State Government do more to help car manufacturers manufacture cost-competitive electric vans/SUV's/cars to compete with Volkswagen, Ford, etc.? We are still seeing individual people commute with more and more new, multi-ton vehicles from home to work every day, paid for with tax credits to the rich. Automakers have responded to lowered emissions and mpg standards at the federal level with profit-maximizing moves to make more SUV's and close plants that make cars with higher mpg ratings and/or electric power trains. Would California be willing to provided financing to electric commute cooperatives and cohousing projects capable of dramatically decreasing per capita carbon footprint related to transportation, office space, and industry? Can you please consider the example of Denmark and how it provided low-rate loans to housing cooperatives that built cohousing to achieve higher quality of life with lower per capita cost and lower per capita energy use?
