Subject: CARB policies to achieve a 50% reduction in fuel use
Comment:
Reducing fuel use by 50% by 2030 is certainly an admirable goal but
I would suggest that policies to get to that goal must be examined
carefully and with legislative oversight. The policies mandated by
CARB may hurt the poor and will cost California jobs if not done
carefully. In addition California is currently in dire straits when
it comes to the price of fuel at the pumps with the advent of Cap &
Trade and fuel taxes going through the roof.  We fear that the
costs of fuel will go up to try and motivate drivers to drive lees
and feel that penalizing drivers is not the way to go. In addition,
not many of California drivers can afford to go out and buy an
electric car, not now and not in 15 years. We also fear the
rationing of fuel and that is not good either. Moving folks from
their single family homes into high-rise apartments to satisfy
bureaucrats who favor Sustainable Communities is an attack on our
freedoms. I hope that you will do what is right and good for the
folks
