Comment:
Would you please include the following actions in your
implementation plan to deal with climate change in our state? 
Thank you.

*    Require new construction in California to include
photovoltaic (solar) energy-generating panels on roofs, unless
there's a VERY GOOD reason not to (on certain buildings).

*    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
(CCEA), 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 feeble 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.
