Comment:
The Concept Paper for the Cap-and-Trade Auction Proceeds Second Investment Plan (Fiscal Years 2016-17 through 2018-19) includes investment concepts focusing on reducing methane release from organic waste. Thank you for addressing this important short lived GHG pollutant by expanding composting and anaerobic digestion infrastructure. However the Concept Paper does not include recycled materials manufacturing support, which is a key Waste Sector Scoping Plan concept. Taking ownership of waste generated in California means expanding that remanufacturing infrastructure using 21st century technology fueled by California’s increasingly renewable energy sources. Continuing to rely on out-of-state markets not only means higher greenhouse gas emissions but loss of jobs, wealth and business opportunities. California should not be relying on uncertain foreign markets when recycled materials can be used here more beneficially. Please include recycled manufacturing as a concept in the Second Investment Plan.
