Dear Air Resources Board.  I appreciate your efforts to provide all
of us with cleaner air.  I encourage you to make sure the cure is
not worse than the disease.  To rapid change and you will fail. 
If you do, the air will not be cleaner and you will hurt a lot of
individuals in the process.  Perhaps it is time to step back and
take a deep breath and allow for other ideas to percolate up. 
After all, what's the rush?  Better to get it right than get it in
a hurry.  
I suggest you might focus more immediately on requirering a
cleaner refining if diesel fuel.  This could be done as an interm
step to what you are currently proposing and produce immediate
measurable improvement in our air quality.  Next requiring new
equipment to be made as soon as reasonably possible, to meet your
standards would be warranted.  Third, encourage retrofitting
technology to enable older equipment to burn cleaner, and still
operate wouild greatly lessen opposition to your proposals.  It is
possible to achieve a win win solution to our air quality issues,
but if you go to far to fast, you will polarize the commuinity and
ultimately work against the very thing you are so passionate in
accomplishing.  wishing you well  John Morris
