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 million years, the sea was a lot higher. The ice at the poles was a lot less. So, weve got a lot of ...

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.

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 Renewable Energy or generally. Back when i was governor the first time, that was a long time ago some of you...

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 to have a million electric vehicles by 2025. applause so, thats just within the last two months, we a...
