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...

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...

You. I guess its more of thinking about the fact that when everybody is released all at once, i think its a safety issue for employees too that are trying to get home for people working there. Its our jobs and you know its offending for myself with these bicycles and im offending for my life with people swerving. Im sure this is a room where if we took a vote, i would be in the minority. My job is to enforce the laws in the book. If it does change to 4 00. We will figure it out, but if in my opi...

Renewable energy, efficiency, elegance in the way we handle resources. Today, of course, we know a lot more. We know about Climate Change. We know about population, 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 t...

So, wherever we can, we are encouraging it. Were number oned in the country. Were going to keep on going. Its very critical. Now, i know from the idea to the execution to the se...
