Comment:
Because of the need to cut greenhouse gases as soon as we possible can I support the more ambitious targets found, in general, in the first of the alternatives proposed in all the sectors. Additional comments I would like to make are: 1. Regarding oil and gas extraction, these should be phased out sooner than 2035. The extraction of these fuels is incredibly damaging to our environment and the health of California's residents, especially as we know, those with lower incomes and people of color. 2. I think it is unwise to rely on carbon capture and sequestration. These technologies by and large have not been proven to be successful and detract from the more important goals of developing clean renewable energy sources. 3 The use of biomass for combustion should be rapidly phased out. It should not be considered renewable. 4. Because of their contribution of massive amounts of greenhouse gases, CARB should focus on reducing HFC's, to 85% of 2013 levels by 2030, and 95% of 2013 levels by 2035.
