Comment:
I am proud to be a fourth-generation Californian. I was even prouder when our governor signed the most rigorous, forward-thinking and usable global warming law in U.S. history, A.B. 32. I understand that since then, the CARB has been hard at work on a blueprint of policies and measures needed to cut global warming pollution by 30% by 2020, as required by this law. The following three issues are extremely important to California's future and to our state's groundbreaking efforts to fight global warming: 1 - We need a well-designed cap-and-trade program. CARB should include as many sources as possible in a cap-and-trade system. I support CARB's preliminary thinking that 80% of California's global warming pollution would be under a cap-and-trade system by 2020. 2 - We need an Indirect Source Rule to control emissions from development projects. I urge CARB to require California's local air districts to develop ISRs to control emissions from new developments. 3 - We need a new Renewable Portfolio Standard to increase clean energy in our state. Since California's current RPS target is 10% by 2010, I support CARB's preliminary recommendation that the state immediately adopt a 33% RPS by 2020. Thank you for considering my views.
