Comment:
California desperately needs a strong plan of action to both slow global warming and achieve immediate reductions in smog and other dangerous air pollutants. The state of California is facing a public health crisis, experiencing large burdens of morbidity and mortality due to air pollution from a variety of point, area and mobile sources. I urge the California Air Resources Board to include a stronger focus on measures to reduce emissions from driving that contribute the largest percentage of greenhouse gases in California. The plan should include a much more aggressive statewide goal for reducing vehicle trips and measures to promote progressive action by local governments. The plan should also include additional strong regulatory measures on industrial sources to reduce emissions form petroleum refineries, power plants, cement manufacturers, and others sources. It is important the plan demonstrates the variety of proposed measures will not only make rapid progress toward reducing greenhouse gases, but will also provide local benefits to communities in terms of improved air quality and public health. Thank you for your consideration of my concerns to strengthen these key strategies in the AB 32 draft scoping plan.
