Several billion more. We know if the demographers are right, the world will add 2 billion people. We now have 2 billion cars. The last time there were a couple hundred million cars. In fact, cars are reproducing faster than people. [laughter] and as long as theyre using oil weve got a problem. Thats why in california we have a goal to have a million electric vehicles by 2025. applause so, thats just within the last two months, we actually recorded over 2000 megawatts of solar energy being put in...

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 Renewable Energy or generally. Back when i wa...

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...

The book. If it does change to 4 00. We will figure it out, but if in my opinion now where i place my resources, the way right now is i believe the best i can do for managing the resources i have. Okay. Part of it too is one of the things we want is the clubs to police themselves and we dont ask people to be pushed out into street. They have a responsibility for these individuals as they leave as well. So sean as another private companies do a good job of policing the streets and we leave it to ...

Installed 13 municipal solar rays, totaling about 7. 4 megawatts of solar Energy Generating capacity. This includes 5 megawatts solar system in our Sunset Reservoir, which is our largest and one of the largest urban municipal solar arrays in the state of california when it was first installed. In fact, i think some of you may be visiting the Sunset Reservoir on your visit this time. Additionally, our solar sector incentive program, go solar s. F. , has been working very hard in our city. In fact...

Quadrupled. We have over 3 40 that total 12 megawatts of power. And this is saving san franciscans more than 41 2 Million Dollars a year on their electrical bills and reducing 6,000 metric tons of co2 in the atmosphere annually. Thank you. applause every bit counts. And many of these installations are becoming the standard rather than the exception and were focused on installing them in all of our lowincome homes and Affordable Housing developments as we build in this city. And as jerry brown sa...

Market the very idea of solar energy. The very idea that we have all the energy we need, we have to develop the technology to utilize it without at the same time filling up our atmosphere with methane and co2 and nitrogen oxide and all the other emissions and pollutants that are going to reshape what life on earth is. When you hit 400 parts per million, as we did as reported by the monitoring stations over in hawaii, it hasnt been like that for 3 or 4 million years. When it was like that 3 or 4 ...

So, i guess i have to expiate my Many Political sins and i spent time in the wilderness. But i am back and i can reflect on how politics work, how it worked then, whats happened in the meantime, challenges we now face. I promoted solar energy back in 1975 when i signed a law that granted a 55 tax credit to the installation of solar. That time was mostly solar hot water. But 55 was a credit, not a deduction. So, you took it right off your state income tax. Probably the biggest incentive that has ...

Right now is i believe the best i can do for managing the resources i have. Okay. Part of it too is one of the things we want is the clubs to police themselves and we dont ask people to be pushed out into street. They have a responsibility for these individuals as they leave as well. So sean as another private companies do a good job of policing the streets and we leave it to the individual owners on any given night and i have said to other individuals as well that to take the temperature of you...
