Subject: Comprehensive Study of a Carbon Fee and Dividend Program
Comment:
CARB has a record of very meaningful work in the area of reducing
carbon emissions.  Limiting the harmful, and potentially
disastrous, impacts of continued exploitation of fossil fuels is
likely to become even more challenging and critical under the new
federal administration.  

Please consider a careful and comprehensive study of the carbon fee
and dividend plan, as compared to other possible ways of addressing
the problem.  

The carbon fee and dividend program advocated by Citizens Climate
Lobby does not depend on new regulations, or the creation of a
full-scale bureaucracy for oversight. It is a market-based solution
putting an escalating fee on carbon at the source and then
distributing the money collected to individual households.  This
type of plan may be the only way to obtain truly bipartisan
support.  

The CA legislature has already endorsed this concept in its
Assembly Joint Resolution 43.

Thank you for your consideration.

Ann Rushton
