Subject: Follow Up Showing How SB 375 Targets Must Help Achieve Climate-Stabilizing Targets
Comment:
Honorable CARB Chair and Members:

It has been suggested to me that I augment my previous comments
with 1.) my Air and Waste Management Association (AWMA) report
showing a plan whereby cars and light-duty trucks (the SB 375
emitters) will achieve climate-stabilizing targets AND 2.) by being
more explicit in explaining your CEQA responsibilities. 

As I mentioned before, from the 2016 California Democratic Party
(CDP) Platform:

   •	Demand Regional Transportation Plan driving-reduction  
targets, shown by science to support climate stabilization

To do that, we would need to know the fleet efficiency, for the
target year. The California Democratic Party understood this.
Therefore, also in the their 2016 Platform:

   •	Demand a state plan showing how cars and light-duty trucks can
hit climate-stabilizing targets, by defining enforceable measures
to achieve the needed
 
1.	fleet efficiency and 
2.	per-capita driving

The attached file is such a state plan.

Please call me at 760-754-8025 if you have question. 

Under CEQA, you have a responsibility to have a plan, such as the
one I have attached. Furthermore, you should assign targets to the
MPOs that support your plan.

No plan to succeed is actually a plan to fail. Failing will,
considering this under CEQA law (cumulative effects), result in the
loss of most life forms on our planet, including our own species.
The assigning of targets is a discretionary project under CEQA and
so you must follow CEQA law in assigning SB 375 targets. By the
way, for the most part, our extinction will be brought about by a
loss of habitat, meaning that we will starve to death. Loss of most
life forms on the planet is a very severe environmental impact.
Some would say it is unacceptable.  

Thank you for your leadership.

Regards,

Mike Bullock
