Date: Tue, 8 May 2012 14:56:19 -0700 Subject: arbcombo -- May 24th Public Consultation Meeting on Investment of Auction Funds from California Cap-and-Trade Program From: rding@arb.ca.gov Please save the date for a public consultation meeting hosted by the California Air Resources Board (ARB) on approaches for investing auction proceeds from California’s cap-and-trade program. Panelists will discuss how California can most effectively invest these funds to support the goals of Assembly Bill 32 (AB 32) to reduce greenhouse gases, as well as encourage long-term transformation to improve public health and develop a clean energy economy. The public can share ideas about what criteria and programs should be prioritized in the development of an investment plan. ARB will soon be issuing a notice that provides additional detail about the meeting and how to participate. DATE: May 24, 2012 TIME: 1:30 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. PDT PLACE: California Environmental Protection Agency Building Byron Sher Auditorium, 2nd floor 1001 I Street Sacramento, California 95814 A live webcast of the meeting will be available at: http://www.calepa.ca.gov/broadcast/?BDO=1 The meeting notice will be available soon at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/meetings/meetings.htm. BACKGROUND: The Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (Chapter 488, Statutes of 2006 [AB 32, Núñez/Pavley]), requires California to reduce statewide greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2020 and to maintain and continue reductions beyond 2020. As part of this effort, ARB has developed a cap-and-trade program. The program establishes a statewide emissions limit on sources responsible for 85 percent of greenhouse gases and creates a financial incentive for investment in clean and efficient technologies. Under the program, a portion of allowances required for compliance will be auctioned. Strategic investment of auction funds can further the purposes of AB 32 and deliver long-term economic, environmental, and clean energy benefits. The first auction is scheduled for November 2012 and auctions will be held on a quarterly basis thereafter through 2020.

David L. Greene, Ph.D., Senior Fellow, Howard H. Baker Jr., Center for Public Policy, University of Tennessee, and Corporate Fellow, Oak Ridge National Laboratory Tuesday, September 4, 2012, 12 - Noon PDT Byron Sher Auditorium, 2nd Floor, Cal/EPA Building 1001 I Street, Sacramento, California Petroleum dependence is a serious economic and national security problem for the U.S. High levels of consumption and imports, coupled with the use of monopoly power in global oil markets and a historical lack of alternatives, have imposed significant costs on the U.S. economy. Today, direct economic costs from petroleum dependence are higher than they were during the oil embargoes of the 1970s and are estimated to have exceeded $2 trillion since 2005. These costs represent wealth transfer out of the country and lost economic output due to monopoly pricing and price spikes. (They do not account for indirect costs related to congestion, defense, or health impacts). Reducing petroleum dependence by transitioning to a low carbon transportation system can generate hundreds of billions of dollars annually in economic and national security benefits for the U.S. By greatly increasing energy efficiency and substituting hydrogen, electricity and biofuels produced with low net greenhouse gas emissions, the U.S. can develop a sustainable and diverse transportation system while fostering a crucial link to economic and national security.
