want to reroute that drive. >> nannette miranda is live at that walmart. labor groups say walmart is a surprising choice for the president. it is going to knock him off message. >> well, very surprising but the white house insists this is not about wages today. we're talking about energy efficiency. i have a copy of president obama's speech and he's expected to announce a series of executive actions aimed at cutting carbon pollution by pushing energy efficiency. here's some highlights of the speech he's expected to make. mr. obama wants to build up a solar workforce, provide innovative financing for solar and invest in energy upgrades to federal buildings and improve appliance efficiency. the white house chose walmart to announce these actions because the giant retailer will commit to double the on-site of solar projects at u.s. stores, sam's club and distribution centers by

2020. the president will highlight other major businesses that have made similar commitments. mr. obama will be greeted by protesters, as you mentioned. labor groups and walmart employees don't understand why he chose the chain for this visit. they say walmart is known for its low wages and high profits, not exactly a model when democrats are fighting to raise the minimum wage. but the white house, as i said earlier, said that this stop is not about wages. it's about renewable energy. a security sweep is expected to take place shortly and clear the way for the president's arrival. his speech is supposed to start at 9:55. live in mountain view, nannette miranda. >> the president will expect some protesters there. obviously, many people with different issues but many people talking about the fact that walmart makes so much money and yet you hear over and over again. one person said she knows walmart employees who live in their car. >> that's right. one grandmother is expected to give the president a letter, in

fact, detailing what it's like to live on low wages in the high-priced silicon valley area. >> i think case in point that the president has already been knocked off message by the choice of walmart. mu rarissa meyer was on han and she is on the board of directors at wall marlt. so far it's unclear if she will attend today's event in mountain view. president obama will wrap up his speech at walmart some time between 10:00 and 11:00. air force one will leave from there around 1:00. highway 101 affected briefly as well as the central expressway. do stay with us for continuing covereniage of the president's visit. we'll be live streaming that speech and departure from moffett field when air force one departs go to nbcbayarea.com. a warning from san francisco officials who say if you don't pay attention to new construction near the golden gate bridge, it will cost you as

part of the new parkway project, crews will have to move the last exit in san francisco before the bridge. bob redell live on the bridge. this will have an impact on bridge this morning. >> could cause congestion if drivers become confused about the last exit. if you're not paying attention, you could end up inadvertently being forced to cross the golden gate bridge if your intention was to stay in the city. heading northbound 101 on the final approach to the golden gate bridge toll plaza, you see the sign that says last exit, right after you get through that tunnel. you see the sign and then you're allowed to exit right before the toll plaza. starting sunday workers will move that exit 1,000 feet to the south. 1,000 feet sooner than you're

this is video from the white house. solar panels made in america were installed in the first family's residence. it's estimated to pay for itself in energy savings over eight years. today the president will highlight walmart during his speech because the giant retailer has committed to double the number of solar projects at u.s. stores, sam's clubs and distribution centers by the year 2020. protesters will be out here in force at this visit because they say walmart pays low wages quite in contrast to the democrats' call for raising the minimum wage. they demand the president should also call for social invasions. >> i need the president to make things better for everybody. >> that's a walmart worker who lives in her car, as i mentioned earlier and she hopes to give the president a letter today talking about her living conditions. the white house, again, insists
