Dear California Air Resources Board,

CARB must protect the health of our communities with strong rules
for Californias cap-and-trade program. We need to maintain
incentives in our rules to ensure big polluters cut pollution, and
we need market rules that will result in the real pollution
reductions, which means eliminating excess allowances from the
market and maintaining, not increasing, current industrial
assistance factors.

The fossil fuel industrys demand for a $365 million giveaway over
the next three years is indefensible, and their request that CARB
offer pollution permits well in excess of what is needed puts our
2030 climate goals at grave risk. California should be holding
polluters accountable and investing in clean energy, not caving
into the never-ending series of demands from corporations that
pollute our air.

To stay true to CARBs mission, you have a responsibility to
safeguard the health of the communities hit hardest by air
pollution caused by oil refineries. 

Thank you.

Sincerely, James Hubbard
