You, (CARB), have almost approved your plan for dealing with global
warming over the next three decades. 
Unfortunately as written, the plan calls for more than one-fifth
of the reductions to come from a "cap-and-trade" system that will
let polluters trade permits for putting out greenhouse gases. The
proposal leaves open the chance the state will give away these
emission allowances for free, even though the pollution they allow
can hurt Californians. 

Further, the proposed plan would allow polluters to meet half of
these emissions caps by buying "offsets" - essentially buying their
way out of complying with state law by paying others to reduce
their global warming pollution. This could not only worsen air
pollution in our most polluted communities, but would discourage
development of clean energy technologies in California.

Please do not approve this flawed plan. You can and you must make
it better for all of California.
