| Comment | To Whom it may concern: I am a 4 man Tree Service(see www.Bellizzitree.com)and I disagree with your fleet replacemnet policy you are trying to implement. I have 2 Tier 0 Diesel Chippers and 1 Tier 2 Bobcat Tractor. I am currently running Bio-diesel (20%) eventually working to 90% Bio-Diesel and 10% regular red diesel.I know if I run this mix I will beat your Tier 3 emmissions requirement.I currently make all my Tree Service estimates in a Bio-Diesel 1999VW Turbo Diesel New Beetle which gets 49 mile per gallon.I live in a Solar home where this year P.G & E. will owe me $100 this year because I sell excess power to grid.My personal mission in life is to reduce my carbon emissions to 0.So I know my stuff.Just because the great Air Resources Board doesn't believe in LOCALLY MADE BIO-DIESEL don't penalize the small business which are already exceeding AB 32 initiatives. The great ARB has failed Californian's before by not allowing a Prius with push button to run up to 80% electric (alowwed in Europe and Asia).This would have made the first mostly electric car massed produced to be available for Californian's,BUT NO. Thanks guys.Your closed mindedness is staggering. |
