SACRAMENTO, Calif., Nov. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Today in a move that diverges
from the California Chamber of Commerce, an impressive chorus of top business
leaders from around the state are speaking out in support of California's
historic climate law, AB32, calling it a powerful economic stimulus. These
leaders are urging the state to move forward quickly and decisively to adopt a
strong policy framework to reduce California's global warming pollution and
strengthen the state's economy.
This diverse group, which includes members of the clean tech industry, the
entertainment industry, the wine industry, the automobile industry, the ski
industry and more, have written a letter to the Governor and the California
Air Resources Board (ARB), calling on the state to act quickly to enact
policies that will increase energy efficiency, spur innovation, and encourage
investment in California. The letter states:
"We represent some of the best and most innovative leaders in
technology and business. We keep California competitive in the world
market by challenging the traditional players and practices, and by
recognizing and seizing opportunities for change. The state's proposed
plan fuels the entrepreneurial spirit that makes California a world
economic leader. We must seize this precious opportunity to transform
our energy infrastructure and retain the first mover advantage that
AB32 creates for us in the multibillion-dollar clean technology world
market."
Today, the ARB is taking public input on the AB32 Scoping Plan, the
framework for California's historic climate law.
