and i might say those among you from a excess please tell them this is a wonderful opportunity to bring the a assess members together to have a show and exhibition for all the members so i suggest it would be great to continue this great co- relation with a sea in the future. finally, i want to appreciate the alliance for for science their many others from other organizations that brings together the very exciting program which we have as a convention sponsor we want to welcome but now i don't want to spend any more time i see our governor jerry best graffiti

watch volunteer award is in the room i want to celebrate his 40 years as governor (clappin (clappin (clappin (clapping) >> i've never been introduced that way it heathens my feeling of ab obsolescence (laughter) but i'll try to be as sustainable for as long as i can i look at 40 years this november actually but important importantly here we are in san

francisco in california at this solar event with a strong heavier german influence i've been connecting with my interdepression since my grandfather sampling came in here i was on mothers ancestral grand slam looking at gull lists and dry hard come 35kd soil thinking of ways to revitalize the way to save water and recharge the underground quarts and live with the other catches up that inhabit this special land. i'm feeling a a little bit distance from this urbanization since out in the country there's

coyotes and swurlz and a hawk that made me think of late lent 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 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 have the keep that in mind program and the building efficiency and our alliance efficiency our zero vehicle program and by the way, it will hit the hundred thousand mark very soon (clapping) and we have our high speed rail program that will be delivered by renewable energy hopefully, a love of solar hopefully it will take place and don't worry about it there's plenty of solar to be installed over the years - (clapping.) it's not a limit you think of a

third renewable eventually we have to get to the level of energy and those types of source 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 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 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 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 sustainability let's take a renewed excitement and commitment from how far we've gotten with you not kid ourselves we have a much harder and itch more formable challenge ahead of us i join i with to do everything we possible can to make sure our economy and energy and all the ways we live together works now and for the indefinite future thank you and welcome to california. thank you (clapping) >> thank you so much.

of people came rushing into the san francisco bay area to the state of california to find what to find answers to improve their lives it so happens that this spirit of innovation and entrepreneursship is still awake and instead of calling them the names of femur seeks we call them diserupts and innovators and one is the solar industry that's diserupt active in a fine sense the united states has seen a record growth in solar snauksz and, in fact, the average cost of the module has dropped 80 percent in the last 5 years? the hard work that conference has done and many of the people

companies innovating models to make solar accessible to everyone. by the way, you to you know the solar companies comply many, many jobs and 50 thousand jobs in california and in the bay area 21 thousands of them solar green proud jobs that's pitting a lot of people back to work (clapping) and all of this and this great job growth this this sustainable industry has been done in the worse economic times of this country we're not only the economics are against us but the grid look in washington, d.c. was against us we've done this

in california and those achievements require a partnership and vision and thank goodness we've got governor jerry brown and the policies are reflected in a 3 that percent portfolio that's a goal worth achieving in san francisco i'm proud of our own state, in fact, in the last decade we've built out our energy resources we've installed 16 muni megawatts generating capacity and i'm proud of our municipal solar we put solar outstanding on our davies city hall that's the only one that is the greenest in the world we've got 5 more large

solar projects in the works and doing our partly to get the residents and businesses joining in that's why for the next 2 years i've invested $10 million in the goal solar san francisco that's our national program i'm very proud of it (clapping) and the go solar program is popular 3 thousand homes have been installed with solar with megawatts of clean energy. the success of the go solar energy not only generates energy i know your creating the best paying jobs and san franciscans who wouldn't be applied are being trapped we're reaching in and training them on the thing

they felt they had no connection to in the past we have an amazing 31 solar companies participated in go solar sf and our workforce development program insures those jobs will be there for everyone and thanks to the governor and his leadership i've started the case in san francisco. green finance sf (clapping) so homeowners can find affordability financing their, their renewable energy and in fact, i've had a moment to talk to the governor we're going to be joining the mayors across the state of california to bring up the mayors across the country to demands that president obama and other
