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
