Comment:
Dear Chairperson Liane Randolph, Everyone thanks you for the opportunity to comment on the scoping plan alternatives for 2022. I may not be around in ten years, but my grandchildren will be. So CARB needs to be stronger than the the Alternatives 1 through 4. At the least, Alternative 1 should be chosen, except for methane production, then Alternative 2 in necessary. Alternative 1 should include some research on CDR instead of simply rejecting it. The challenge for CARB, is that there is a window of time to accelerate changes by 2030 in every sector. Each of the past Scoping Plans have included a list of policies centered around regulations, incentives, and carbon pricing to help the State achieve its GHG targets. Any economist will agree that carbon pricing is the most effective way to reduce GHG emissions, so the Cap and Trade price needs to be as high as the damages that climate change has caused in California. Even Iceland and Ireland has double the price of the $17 in California. We need all renewable electricity generation by 2030. In residential housing, appliances should be all electric when new by 2030. Biomass is not carbon neutral and the waste should be used for alternatives that sequester carbon rather that for combusting. In five years there will be HFC options available for refrigeration and air conditioning with GWP of less than 15. These should be required by manufacturers on a time table. There should be incentives for stores to replace entire older systems. Thank you for considering. Respectfully, Lee Dedini Bayside, CA.
