Comment:
This subject has been such a colossal display of hubris and
ignorance I can hardly begin.  To draft, pass,and have the bill
signed into law shows the hubris of mankind as manifest in our
elected officials.  To believe that we, mankind, can affect what
we do not understand is to display our ignorance.  We can mint as
many PhD graduates as we want, all "specializing" in climate
change, it still will not alter the laws of nature.  We can shout
it from the roof tops, and congratulate ourselves in black-tie at
the awards dinner, it still does not make the science true.  

Anthropological global warming (AGW) is a lie, no matter how many
NASA scientists(?) testify in front of congress.  Knowing a few
myself, I have yet to find one to support Dr. Hansen and his
conclusions(?)  The science is not there.  All the predictive
models used by the IPCC are bunk.  If the science was as decided
as Mr Gore says it is, the models would have shown it, after all
they are accurate, right?  The science is far from decided and
will remain so.  Our planet is a complex system of complex
systems; far too complex for us to "know" enough to act as we
are.

CO2 is not causing us, or the planet, any harm.  To regulate it is
to regulate every breath exhaled by every person on the planet: is
that even possible?

CO2 is not "pollution". This simple compound is traded freely in
or ecosystem, it is part of our natural world.  It is formed,
disassociated, and reformed again and again in our ecosystem.  You
may have to look it up in a college text, the text used in my local
high school has been changed to include this false doctrine,
purging any real discussion of our physical world in our high
schools.

The plan, as drafted and missing appendixes, will have a negative
affect on our already weak economy in CA.  This slate of
regulations will drive business costs up, driving business out. 
Your prediction of new "green" jobs are a fantasy. Look to the
past, the economy tanked because the middle class manufacturing
jobs left when the aircraft and other manufacturing plants shut
down.  The companies that could, left the state.  The ones left
have seen the cost of business increase by as much as 45% or more.
 When bidding globally, it is a bad idea to have the highest costs.
 The cost of doing business in CA is always higher that other
localities. The reason some manufacturing companies still exist is
because of unique skills, or government red tape to move the
process.  Poll anyone running a manufacturing business in CA and
ask if they have to take smaller, or no, profit to remain
competitive globally.  With no profit, who can stay in business:
government is the only "business" not charged with making a
profit.

Is it possible the CARB could show some real leadership and NOT
implement the regulatory statue until it can be PROVEN that there
is a real threat?  
I think the CARB would benefit by searching for and listing to the
people who:
1. have a formal education in science / engineering.
2. DO NOT work for the government
3. Have looked at the available research from all sides.

I have much respect for those who accept the mantle of leader, but
the politicians who made these decisions have insufficient
scientific knowledge to do so.  In short, they think they know
more that they really do.

A general comment:
There is not enough time (60 minutes) alloted to comment
sufficiently.  There are specific actions cited in the draft that
will cripple our industry.  I will post them in the appropriate
sub sectors.Reeves
