1. The best alternative should include the Capm and Trade program.
this is will provide funding and including a declining Capon
emissions needed to achieve,the reduction in GHG to the new
threshold of 40% below 1990m levels.

2. Renewable energy RPS can be achieve and enhanced to as much as
100% by modifying regulations and CEQU requrements tom expedite
larger scale solar and wind projects.

3. Emphasis should be placed on land use pplanning that will helpto
facilitate compact transit oriented development. Enhanced public
transit should be supported to reduce Vehicle Miles Traveled.

4.Support research in the battery and other storage technology to
support the renewableenergyand electric vehilce improvements.

5. More support to implement battery electric and fuel cell
charging and fueling stations.

6.Use Life Cycle analysis especially in the areas of residential
and commercial and industrial building. this will aid in
realistically assessing whether a building or other faciilty should
be restored and possibly repurposed instead of being replaced.

7. Support building energy efficiecy for both new and existing
structures. help implement the PACE program.
. Support water conservation and recycling using renewable e
energy for treatment.

8. Support agricultural best management practices and the
implementation of anaerobic digester project for dairies. 

9 Support localization of agriculture to reduce transport.

10, Support energy projects  in forest using dead and dying trees
as a fuel source for low emisisions incineration. Reduce fire risk
by thinning.

11. consider research at U. c. Berkeley for enhanced carbon
sequestration in grassland by use of organic mulch.

Thank You Very Much for Your Consideration.
