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 Francisco. Theyre a wealth of information and resources. What kinds of things might you encourage tenants to do besides simply get tenants renters insurance and earthquake insurance, what else do you think tenants should do . I think its really important to know if they happen to be in the building where is the safest place for them to go when the shaking starts. If theyre out of the building, whats their continuity plan for connecting with family . They should give their Emergency Contact information
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 into the grid, which is more than [speaker not understood] provided. applause of course, the solar works for six hours or so and Nuclear Works for, you know, four times as long. However, it leaves a little bit of a tail afterwards that has to be dealt with. So, but its an important milestone. And california does have the goal of 33 Renewable Energy. We have the goal of a million solar rooftops. We already have over 130,000 installations on homes and small businesses. So, were looking at utility, s
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 was governor the first time, that was a long time ago some of you folks werent even born then not too many. I see a few gray hairs here who are hanging around. That was a long time ago, 38 years ago, as a matter of fact. Very few people get to be governor 38 years after they first started. [laughter] with a 28year hiatus. applause 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
applause well, thank you and welcome to california.

Aware of, but its been going on for a long time. You talk to the pharmaceuticals in mission bay, they have been doing this for a long time to get their drugs faster. I often cite that as being part of this very spirited effort to get much more of a sharing attitude about what we are doing, in addition to the things we just talked about in terms of emergency preparedness. Anything else . Who do you expect to be attending these summit meetings . Well think about inviting. [ laughter ] anyone like the city representatives . People that are interested in advancing their economies or creating businesses or working together and the jack dorothy and the mayor, thats the kind of person you want to have there. We also like them to come to new york and spend money in our restaurants and stay in our hotels, pay taxis. So, its an exciting thing. Any of these events.
