Subject | Opinion in Favor of Proposed California Cap on Greenhouse Gas Emissions |
Comment | I want to thank you for your work to put a cap on Greenhouse Gas Emissions. I am strongly in favor of the cap and trade regulation currently before the Board. I am pleased to see that the proposed regulation includes the following: Fully auctioning allowances in the transportation sector Strong enforcement $10 per allowance price floor, Additional ideas: Maximize the use of auctioning as a method of allocating allowances. The level of free allocation proposed in the draft cap and trade rule is a gift to Industry at Taxpayer expense. CARB should clearly state in the regulation that it intends to move toward 100 percent auctioning, and leave an opening to do so. Ensure that Offsets Cannot Be Sold More than Once through Different Registries Lower the Offset Limit Promote investment in Cost-Effective Energy Efficiency by requiring Utilities that use allowance values for clean energy investments should be required to first invest in cost-effective energy efficiency. Thank you, Gil Varon |
