Dear CARB,

Thank you for your work on the Draft AB32 Scoping Plan to reduce
California's GHGs by 2020, especially in setting goals for the
State to increase renewable energy and reduce vehicle miles
travelled. Please consider these recommendations for inclusion in
the Final Scoping Plan:

- The State should auction 100% of permits under the cap.
Polluters should pay for their emissions, not be given free
permits that subsidize coal and prolong the transition to cleaner
energy.
- The Scoping Plan should specify that all auction revenues will
be used to provide a Dividend to compensate consumers. With
gasoline at $4.50/gallon and rising electricity prices, helping
consumers deal with fuel and electricity costs is the best use of
auction revenues.
- I support CARB's proposal for Carbon Fees on fossil fuel
companies to help fund CARB's implementation of AB32. Carbon Fees
can also provide funding sources for clean technologies, green
jobs, energy efficiency programs, and more.

Sincerely,
Regina Ames
