It is my belief that promoting use of low GWP or natural
refrigerants is in the best interest of all Californians, and that
providing funding or incentives for supermarket owners or other
commercial operators to install these natural or low GWP
refrigerants is essential.  Also, operators of cold storage
facilities, or other refrigerated spaces where there are choices to
use either traditional high GWP HFC refrigerants versus low GWP or
natural refrigerants should also be included.

One of the main reasons I am supporting these sorts of programs
would be to get the ball rolling for more installations to take
place, which in turn should reduce the cost of these alternative
means of refrigeration.  By installing more locations, the
potential for greenhouse gas emission reductions is significant,
and presents an environmental benefit.  These systems can also be
very energy efficient, which defers power plant construction or
strain on the electrical grid.  

Therefore, I am in support of any proposals within the state of Ca.
that would provide funding or incentives for end users to use
natural refrigerants.  These end users may be grocery retailers,
convenience stores or small food retail, cold storage or other non
food retail refrigeration operators, etc.  

Thank you!
