Applause well, thank you and welcome to california. Its a great place to come and talk about solar energy because we are in the forefront of certainly the rest of the states, probably in fact, certainly in the western hemisphere, california is in the lead. And thats important. But being in the lead doesnt mean weve arrived at the goal. Got a long way to go and i hope the work you do here, the conversations, the relationships that are formed can help advance the cause of solar energy and Renewabl...

Beat officers, officers on foot, officers on bicycles, School Resource officers. If the hours were stretched, it would stress our resources that much later into night to cover those extra hours making this a 24 hour time like new york is. Right now its not a conversation that we are in a position to have. So i understand there is going to be some policing training. We have plans to be full staffing by 2018. You have a question .

San Francisco Mayor lee is here to join us. This is especially special for us. About 14 months ago when we kicked off our First Program lee was here. He helped cut the ribbon and launch with our First Companies about 14 months ago, and i one thing i will say before you get up we thought long and hard where we wanted green star located and we knew we wanted it in Silicon Valley and we wanted to know where they were going to and we believe San Francisco is on the way to being the heart and hub of ...

Mayors in iowa, in indiana, in alabama and in florida, saying that theres a lot for immigrants to contribute to this country. We also have to have the talent come here as well. A lot of Technology Companies are reaching out to talent across the world and they need that talent to stay here to build the companies so that more jobs can get created. Thats part of the immigration bill along with family, along with pathways to citizenship for those that are technically not legally here. How do you spe...

But 55 was a credit, not a deduction. So, you took it right off your state income tax. Probably the biggest incentive that has ever been provided. But over the years times change, but still california at that time was leading the way in solar and building efficiency, and then very shortly after 1982 promulgated appliance efficiency standards.

Then it takes clarity, it takes courage, and it takes will, a...

Major, major problem after earthquakes actually. It is. Thats one of the big things. A lot of things falling over, ceilings collapsing. But all of this can be prevented by an expert coming in and assessing where those problem areas and often the fixes are really, really cheap. Who do you call when you want to have that kind of assessment or evaluation done . The Structural Engineering community is great. We have the Structural Engineers association of Northern California right here in San Franci...
