Comment:
Thank You CARB for the opportunity to attend your AB-32 Draft Scoping Plan workshop today and for the great job on creating the draft plan. I have the following comments: * I agree with many of the speakers who said that Land Use is a vital area that should be addressed in the plan. My suggestion is that local governments should be required to submit an anticipated Green House Gases environmental impact report for any new large development project and not exceed CARB limits before they can proceed with development. * I would like to see some specific language that commits communities to include their plans for bicycle and pedestrian traffic as well as accessibility to Mass transit from all parts of the community. * I'm a supporter of subsidizing ZEVs and PHEVs via fee reductions or rebates to encourage the adoption of clean vehicles. * The State should strongly encourage and promote the installation of Solar Thermal water and space heating in businesses and residences. This investment has a potential of a faster return on investment than PV. It should also continue to support and encourage Solar PV installation for homes and businesses. * No Nukes Please ! I don't care how revolutionary the latest nuclear technology is, if it produces radio active waste, has the potential for a disaster and requires a lot of water, it's too risky. Safer and more renewable alternatives exists today which can meet our needs. We don't need Nuclear to meet our targets. Sincerely, Marc Fontana
