Subject: Keep polluters accountable and protect our air
Comment:
We agree with the comments below submitted by the Sierra Club and
agree that we must thank CARB for it's work to create a
clean-energy in it's plan that calls for 33% of our electricity to
come from renewable sources.    

We still need strong, specific measures that hold polluters
accountable. CARB must use its power to speed the production of
zero-emission vehicles, shape smarter land use policies and boost
recycling rates. Pumped-up public transit and strong zero-waste
policies also will help us aggressively address the pollution that
causes global warming.

Even though the CARB plan allows carbon trading to generate 20% of
the greenhouse gas pollution reductions, it doesn’t specifically
call for auctioning of emissions permits. Nor does it fully
address the need to limit offsets and analyze the impacts of a
cap-and-trade system on air quality in our most polluted
communities. These steps would keep polluters accountable and
protect our air.
Thank you
