In regards to the Draft Scoping Plan of CARB.

While it does include a number of strong measures, including a
call for 33% of electricity to be generated by clean, renewable
energy by 2020, it seems to need some significant strengthening
before it will be up to meeting the challenge of combating global
warming.  

Potential suggestions are:   

·        Make polluters pay for their emissions of greenhouse
gases, using the resulting revenues to promote clean energy and
aid low-income consumers. Limit sharply and verify any offsets. Do
not link our program to any states with weaker emission standards.


·        Include stronger measures to reform land use planning in
ways that reduce vehicle miles traveled.

·        Promote and enable Community Choice Electricity
Aggregation (CCA), which lets communities pool their buying power
to generate clean power.

·        Mandate that auto companies sell hundreds of thousands of
Zero-Emission Vehicles (ZEVs) by 2014, not the proposed level of
7500 ZEVs.

·        Put Zero Waste front and center:  increase recycling by
businesses, mandate building facilities to compost all green
waste, and require producers to take responsibility for the
end-of-life disposition of their products.


Thank you.
