ACTION 3: FROM MVCAN's ECO WARRIORS:

The Cap-and-Trade bill, AB 398, is out this morning, and it’s our worst nightmare. It has Big Oil's influence throughout and has to be stopped. The bill is replete with offsets, allowances, and tax breaks, and would prevent local Air Districts from regulating GHGs!

We must join our environmental justice allies in making sure that no cap-and-trade extension “preempts” Air Districts (yes, our own BAAQMD) and the Air Resources Board from exercising their authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. AB 398 currently proposes to leave all greenhouse gas regulation to an intentionally weak market mechanism. It’s obviously a counter-move to the almost-successful four-year effort to get BAAQMD to cap local refinery emissions. Regional air districts are the lead agencies for controlling stationary source pollution, and the only organizations with the decades of experience and resources to successfully monitor and regulate the local and global pollutants that are released together from refinery smokestacks.

It can be voted on as early as Thursday at 4 pm on the Senate floor!

Please make these quick calls today to State Senator Mike McGuire and Assemblyman Marc Levine and ask them to oppose AB 398:

Senator Mike McGuire phone:  (916) 651-4002          
Assemblyman Mark Levine Phone: (916) 319-2010  

(These are quick calls. The staff is just taking a count - pro or con)


AND JUST IN from the Eco Warriors:
