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. So, we did get the sense of Renewable Energy, efficiency, elegance in the way we handle resources. Today, of course, we know a lot more. We know about Clim...

Applause well, thank you and welcome to california.

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...

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...

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...
