To the California Air Resources Board,

The entire world recognizes the need for all electric and
plug-hybrid vehicles.  Yes, we also need to ensure that these
vehicles do not have adverse impacts.

The proposed limit of Tier 1 conversions of 10 cars is way too
low.  This will place a huge burden on early adopters, and be
overly restrictive on a developing technology.  We need options, we
need to fine-tune the possibilities.  It is unrealistic to think
this can be achieved with just 10 units.

Make it 1,000, or at least 100.  Even one "legacy" (i.e., more
than 30 years old) automobile will pollute more than all of the
proposed plug-hybrids.  In fact, the plug-hybrids will pollute less
than even some of the cleanest cars (e.g., the Prius).

Please, help this country lead again.

Thank you,

Patrick Rentsch
