3:12 am
political opposition (laughter) so, anyway i'll say i was around with california impacted a 55 percent tax for solar installations in 1975 and it was something for the space program up to the rooftop it was really solar thermal but in the decades that have come after it's amazing how the industry has advanced and the ordinary citizens have picked the sustainability of a real sense as we live and go about our lives and our work we have to take accountability for the long-term things. when you've been around for 40 years you have a sense that time
3:13 am
is passing and we have to think about what our impact is and that impact is real. the fact that people aren't around i can't envision years from now but we have a real impact to department the capacity and imagination not only this quarter or this year but the decades to come. and that's why even in cost benefit analysis they might say someone today their lives are worth several million and 50 millions several hundred thousand and one hundred and 50 its far reduced yet we're all tied together in now and into the future so california has been pioneering those items we

3:15 am
of energy we're not raising the green house gases we have a long way to go and while it's exciting to be with likes minded people it's well, to take a pause and realize that the take we're on now is not sustainable we have to make a turn and a shift anytime you're talking about an organism or political those shifts are not easy to make it's just as harden in california we have to adapt policies and get insights and build consensus so it's not about the elicit but the people themselves we have to build consensus so a convention like this contributes to it we have a consensus to build reanything
3:16 am
else energy and build efficiently and that's our task going forward i noticed an e-mail california is the 8th largest economic jurisdiction in the world we've surplus italy and russia i don't know if there's italians here but i don't know if we should, commemorated or congratulated but make sure our economy is able to extract more and more value from less material and that's going to take a real genus and california really got going at the time of the gold rush there were people here before that but they lived quietly and that's why they
3:17 am
didn't screw up at the time of the gold rush it was the biggest slim lose when things got slow tell the world with a pick-and-shovel you'll get rich hundreds of thousands of people came to california and dry it was really a backwater and yet when gold came people from german and italy and russia all over the world and it then went to agriculture and oil and now high tech and internet and viacom and that's a viagra of the imagination even more powerful than the mining of sierra's for the gold as we mine our imagines we have to
3:18 am
intensity not only gadgets but keep our eye on the big goal and that's certainly to build is more equitable and justice society to all the creatures and ourselves over time that's why solar is important and along with all the ways that we can adjust how we and the generations that come after us can live in a way that humanity b will continue owe not designate this and that's some go to celebrate and congratulate ourselves it's daunting this is a real mount everest to climb we haven't made the climb is
