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?
