Comment:
1. 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.
2. We need an "Indirect Source Rule" (ISR) to control emissions
from development projects.
What is an ISR? Developers measure indirect (mostly vehicle
and energy use) pollution from construction and operation of
projects and ensure that equivalent reductions occur so the
project's impacts are limited.
3. We need a new Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) to increase
clean energy in our state.
An RPS is a requirement that a percentage of all energy sold
in California be generated from renewable sources (solar, wind,
biomass, etc). California's current RPS target is 10% by 2010.Attachment:
