Subject | Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Program |
Comment | To date, the Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Program has put 5,000 electric cars on the road with a savings of more than 1 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions once power plant emissions are factored in. This savings and the health it represents for our planet is a tribute to the insight and forward thinking of the people who implemented this program. When the California Air Resources Board (CARB) meets on March 27, you will again have an opportunity to build on what has already been done and further strengthen our resolve to live within the natural boundries required for a sustainable future. Please act to maintain the standards set in 2003 that require automakers to produce 25,00 ZEV's in 2012-2014 and 50,000 in 2015-2017. Global warming is a critical problem. If we are to maintain the enivornment within the boundaries we currently know and enjoy, we must act swiftly to stop polluting the air with more and more greenhouse gases. Maintaing the standards for ZEV's is a vital step for controlling our emissions. Since California is free to impose stricter emission controls than the federal government, and because at least 10 states are keenly interested in following California in this matter, California has an opportunity to lead both the nation and the world towards a healthier and more sustainable lifestyle. We owe it to every generation that follows us to pass on to them a healthy, intact enivornment. Sincerely, Tim Sullivan |
