Thank you for your hard work. On behalf of my family, my community and my children I would like to ask that you look out for our well being. A way to to that, is by implementing efforts against global warming. Please create environmentaly sound systems to stop the pollution. Support and allocate funding for conservancy. We need a well-designed cap-and-trade program. Cap-and-trade puts an absolute limit on pollution from some of California's largest sources and guarantees the environmental results we need. CARB should include as many sources as possible in a cap-and-trade system. We support CARB's preliminary thinking that 80% of California's global warming pollution would be under a cap-and-trade system by 2020. We need an "Indirect Source Rule" (ISR) to control emissions from development projects. CARB should require California's local air districts to develop ISRs to control emissions from new developments. We need a new Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) to increase clean energy (solar, wind, biomass, NOT NUCLEAR NOR DIGGING)in our state along with allocation of funding to make this work. We support CARB's preliminary recommendation that the state immediately adopt a 33% RPS by 2020. Please consider the dire circumstances that are being created by not responding to the crisis global warming is causing. Be ethical and responsible on behalf of our society's well being.
