Comment:
I believe that the funding allocation should be adjusted to give more funding to the electric vehicle deployment and electric charging station infrastructure. I believe that it is clear that the effects of climate change are clearly being demonstrated by such examples as the loss of arctic ice and the effect on ocean corral due to acidification. The dangers to public health, safety economy and the environment are increasingly critical. It is recognized that natural gas and biofuels will provide a "bridge to time when we can convert to non-emitting sources of energy I believe that we must accelerate our efforts towards conversion to electric energy generated by such sources as solar and wind. Given the increase in consumer costs due to the cap and trade program we should also consider more funding for needs of the disadvantaged, including energy cost subsidies as well as job training. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely Rick Bettis
