Hydrogen plants coming in

Dear California Air Resources Board:
My name is Mauricio Mairena and I live in the Wilmington neighborhood of Los Angeles. I know that CARB is studying hydrogen use, and I am writing to tell you I do not want hydrogen in my community. Putting more hydrogen in my neighborhood would perpetuate the impacts of polluting gas infrastructure such as asthma, air pollution, and flaring.
Everyone deserves to breathe healthy air in their own homes. Blending hydrogen into the gas system wouldn’t just fail to address the pollution from gas appliances, but could even make it worse. CARB should make sure our scarce resources go to the clean electric appliances that will eliminate this pollution instead of a false solution of hydrogen
Hydrogen is an expensive handout to the gas industry that hurts environmental justice communities, not a climate solution
Salutations, Mauricio Mairena
