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.
