Subject: California Energy Efficiency Industry Council on AB 32 Auction Revenue
Comment:
The Efficiency Council urges California to direct significant investments of cap-and-trade auction proceeds into energy efficiency as efficiency will result in long-term and transformative benefits to California’s public health and clean energy economy. An energy efficiency investment strategy for the use of GHG auction revenues is a jobs plan, a strategy that every California home and business can participate in, and an economic revitalization plan; as well as simply smart economics. Such efficiency investments will shift California’s energy investments to investing in local economies and creating jobs – which can never be outsourced – to upgrade homes, offices and factories in the state. This shift also creates a virtuous cycle by lowering energy bills for businesses and consumers, freeing up even more money that can be invested in the local economy.
