at on peak, you'll be charged the most, another shoulder, another off peak. so what happens is that your production looks like this on the hours of the day. you're going to produce more obviously during the suspect with peaking around noon. when you overlay the curve, they kind of look like this. so solar lines up very well with peak usage. remember when you're overproducing and selling during the day and buying at night, you can use this differential so you're selling high and buying low. that differential can actually use to your advantage depending on your lifestyle. ok, your paybacks ranges from eight to 18 years if you have to look at it that way from people who typically buy. the return anywhere from 5 to 15% or 18% or more on those big systems. so it's not a bad return for a very, very low risk investment. let's say you have 7% on p.v., you're going green. if you got that from your stocks, your principal would be going into risk. so anyway, stocks can go down as we well know. this is very solid. monthly cash flow, let's talk about that. if you were to f

there is a check on peak wind gusts. >> winds are strong tlchl is a gale warning in affect. you can see why that surf is high now. there is a look before getting to the wind gusts. you can see there is ab an sense of rainfall now. we're experiencing dry conditions and gusty. there is a look at peak gusts from today. golden state bridge 60 miles per hour gusts. los gatos 1800 feet. and over hills, 1500 feet. 57 miles per hour gusts, sfo and santa martin, mid-40s, gusts 32 miles per hour now. 35 in concord. 33 livermore. and 37 san jose. winds go on. we'll -- throughout the forecast animation, 7:00 this evening there is a gale warning that will expire around midnight. winds will remain rather breezy into early morning. we'll have gusts up to 20-22 miles per hour. winds continuing to blow. when will next rainfall come? more on that late year thank you. and breaking news there has been an officer-involved shooting in san francisco's portolla neighborhood. there is a live view from sky 7 overhead, you can see investigators are gathered on bacon street. that is where the shooting

the task force made 91 recommendations on how to prepare for the impacts of peak oil and the revisedution before you. we ask that the board prioritize 36 of the recommendations as they were written in the task force report, 13 of the recommendations that we have restated in the resolution. we feel that these are the most pracksable and actionable recommendations. we have left out some of the sort of exotic recommendations that we think it's important to come back to. highlights, calling for the city's long-term plans to forecast and forecast include any one or more peak oil scenarios. plans such as county wide transportation planning which the t.a. is now operating. also san francisco's economic development plan and capital plans for various city agencies to include the concepts of what it means to prepare for limited energy supplies such as peak oil. we also need coordinate regionally to plan for a future without cheap oil. senate bill 275 passed in 2008 called for the creation of regional sustainable community strategies to reduce transportation aid and greenhouse gas eadmission. t

coming up on 5:18 and looking from ballmer peak on emeryville. leading all the way to the emerald city. that's a high definition picture. hard to believe when you look at that thin film of pollution. that's why we have a spare the air day through midnight. let's talk temperatures and where we're at fairfield 32. and santa rosa. scattered fog through the san ramon valley. concord 35. 35 redwood city, 38 mountain view and san jose. around the monterey bay, still 38 everywhere even inland to salinas but frosty in gilroy, 31. three things you need to know. high clouds, hazy sunshine today. slowly south spreading rain tomorrow and more so friday. and then another chance saturday and in the south bay and into the monterey bay on sunday. for today the warm spots around campbell and san jose 60 degrees. the rest of your neighbors the upper 50s. mid to upper 50s on the peninsula today with mid-50s along the coast. daly city 54 degrees. downtown south san francisco mid to upper 50s. we'll have mid to upper 50s through the north bay valleys. also at your be

the city of portland has already done some great work on the question of peak oil. so as seattle.something very similar. it's only consistent with our forward-thinking, i think, trend of contemplating what may be in store for san francisco's limitations, liabilities, and potentially underutilized assets of trying to figure out what it means to live not reliable on a fossil fuel economy. this resolution is simply just that, a resolution. hopefully it will grow from there as something more binding. your support is appreciated. supervisor chu: thank you, supervisor mirkarimi. i appreciate the work that was done by the peak oil task force and i think that the conversation about how it is that we start to have more sustainable economies, less reliance on fossil fuel is an important one. however, i won't be supporting this resolution. the resolution lays forward i think too many recommendations to prioritize that we don't fully have an understanding of what the impact would be yet. just a quick note about some of them. there is clearly community choice is a big one that on its own merit

the developer this question, they did not have an answer and all of these studies were done on the evening peak hours and that is not when deliveries are happening. thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners. to take a moment to think the product group, they work well with the community and a number of changes were influenced in the building design. we are surprised by the lack of housing. this is a big disappointment to us. one thing that has not really been touched on, there is a number of pedestrians on improvements. we would like to see the project sponsor take responsibility for those improvements on market. those are things like -- correcting the current crossing across market and straining this out and if you other things that are in the community plan. putting the building aside, we have some significant concerns about the whole foods so this really relates to the large part of the retail. the traffic and load in concerns have been raised and well- discussed but we are concerned about the timing of the loading. i personally believe that the hours between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m., this w

>> or you could simply move around not within the peak periods, which is one of the things that congestion pricing encourages people to do, to platen out the peaks. so instead of driving at 9:00, if you could make your trip at 9:30 or 10:00, that is the sort of thing it would encourage. commissioner o'conner: so the main proposal or alternative right now is to do peak pricing at certain hours, rush hour morning and evening, is that correct? >> it's what we analyzed but i i have to stress that there is no plan to implement it. commissioner o'conner: but you're saying it's in first place. >> emmitt commissioner o'conner: you could analyze 20 things and say -- >> we analyzed dozened -- commissioner o'conner: what's in first place? >> this northeast corridor. commissioner o'conner: during what hours? >> we analyzed 6 to 9 and 330 to 6 po. the next phase of analysis would need to determine what are the exact edges of that time period. one of the kings in -- things we heard from businesses is we get our deliveries at 8:00 or 9:00 or -- well, businesses getting deliveries of fish, for example. th

one. this leads into peak oil. the peak oil taskforce in their analysis clearly showed us that we have some serious problems that we are going to face in the near term because of peak oil prices. it is vital for that reason that we start localizing our work force. you heard from someone previously about the environmental analysis. it is crucial that we localize our work force for the environment. in cancun, mexico, it is looking a lot like copenhagen. that means local cities like san francisco need to take a lead on the environment. that means every political environmental leader and later on localization of peak oil in the city needs to say rock-solid in support -- stale rock solid in support of this legislation and make sure it goes forward. chairperson avalos: maceo lyons, espinola jackson, guanyoun lin, florenge kong. >> mike two minutes start now, right? my name is ramon hernandez. a represent local 261, over 3000 workers, city and county. i want to make it clear. we work anywhere in the city and county of san

if you live on twin peaks you can drop into 6 neighborhoods quickly. any san franciscoians feel they have one neighborhood, we feel like we have 6 or 7. we are blessed. >> we have a beautiful park and wonderful forests. we are a appreciative of the (inaudible) and we are a quick trip over the hill to the heart of the city and just a step away from 280. so it's a wonderful location for the parish but for us as residents. >> (inaudible) at the time it was affordable, a family area, a great location, close to 280 and has a great neighborhood association, active. neighbors that have been there 30 years. it's stable. and great. >> we like the proximity to the mune, because we like it a lot. >> i heard about westportal and at that time there were a number of stores that went away. but the people came to find the things you couldn't find anywhere else. it's like being back in the midwest. >> it has a great transportation and old fashion feeling. the most unusual street of any part of san francisco. >> i love it, not for the summer weather, but i like the ocean

peak period and particularly to the most congested in downtown focused areas, a lot of low income travelers are on transit. 5% of peak travelers are low income drivers. it's certainly a concern. one of the things that we looked at is a discount for low income travelers as well that would be considered part of the program. vice president clyde: that i think would get back to why i would advocate for looking at our existing structures of revenue collection. again, thank you, it's a thorough presentation, so thank you very much. >> thank you. commissioner o'conner: point of clarification. on this pie chart here, nons.f. regional opinions, what does that mean? does it mean tourists were interviewed at union square or something? >> this is from our electronic town hall where we invited people to participate in a web march and it's from a -- webinar and it's from a panel what is random digit selection. we wanted to know more about the regional opinion. most of the outreach has been san francisco-based and we wanted to know the benefits and impacts in san francisco obviously. because it's a regional mark

it applies to all driversuing highways or major streets on peak commute hours. the fee would be the first of its kind in the country. >> per san mateo leaders are considering a fee of their own to get san francisco to drop the plan. they are asking why all the money raised from such a toll would only benefit san francisco. after all, it's shared by both counties. the district in san mateo said if san francisco moves ahead, other cities will follow suit until driving anywhere will be a nightmare. they plan to announce legislation to block the toll. >> i'm charging to you get into the house. >> time now is 5:08 and we want to check with mike. it could affect your commute. >> for would affect the commute with very heavy congestion through san mateo. a live look at the bridge coming over from the hayward side. you have to pay the toll getting over into san mateo and heading north if that's your route. you get taxed again and possibly by both sides. notice the glowing lights and the high-rise. there clouds as well as through oakland. 880 operates at the limit is, but

but on very peak storm days, and this is something that the other speakers have brought up and how these intense storms are problematic for us, when we get a big storm we are pumping and treating all we can but we don't have enough capacity to handle all the water. so what will happen is these structures will fill and then they will discharge. we call that a combined sewer discharge into the bay or into the ocean. i want you to take note of that pipe that's represented going out to the right there where we drain into the ocean. there's where we start to get into our problem with rising sea level. this is a little bit bigger representation of the slide will showed that was showing the bay side of the city. this is sort of our transport storage structure around the entire city. we call it a moat. it's the way we collect rain water for later treatment. as i said, in light to moderate storms we can do a pretty good job of collecting all of the rain water and sanitary sewage and running it through the treatment plant. in fact, there are probably, in terms of calendar days, there might be 14 t

now he generally has no trouble getting a room apart from one night during the peak summer season. >> in one night the whole city was full. the airport was full. and then i partied all night with my friends, and i checked in the next morning very early in the o hotel. >> tonight he's looking fward to a night in a luxury hotel. he gets a personal welcome from the hotel director who tells him straight away that he won't have to pay for his stay. >> it's going to be a very interesting way of reviewing the hotels. very personal experience. one person experiencing all these hotels. so it's one viewpoint. so i think it will be an interesting view and it gives a good insight on what's available, what's there? what can we improve on? >> so he gets as positive an impression as possible he's given the royal suite. the hotels are anxious to please and have even sponsored clothes, and computers. >> funny. i always get a lot of these flents hotels. sometimes a table full but i never take it with me because i can't carry it in my suit case. >> vincent van dike has now received invitations from hote

on how to prevent cholera infections. the number of japanese holiday travelers traveling overseas through tokyo's haneda airport peaked on thursday. with nearly 50 international flights departing from the airport check-in counters were crowded with people mainly heading to china, south korea, taiwan, and other asian destinations. haneda airport resumed regular international operations in october for the first time in 32 years. the gar chur terminal features an area designed to look like an old tokyo street called edo alley. restaurants were crowded with travelers and those there to see them off. >> things are looking up for at least one sector of japan's energy business. it's solar energy. concerns about the environment are increasing demand for more efficient methods. and companies are responding with a multitude of solutions. >> this looks like a contemporary art installation but these clover-shaped mirrors are actually designed to generate solar energy. japanese companies are intensifying their focus on solar thermal generation. their target market, however, is not japan but overseas. solar thermal plants are made fro

one is s.f. park which i am sure you are all familiar with to look at peak period pricing and other forms of pricing to understand the impact on parking demand as well as the impact on congestion management and also for example the peak period of pricing on the bay bridge and other sorts of pricing programs. we have launched our san francisco transportation plan which is a 25-year look at transportation indevelopments and conditions over time. we would need to track how the different types of policies fit into that plan moving forward. if there is a decision to continue study of congestion pricing, that study would include environmental analysis, system design, and then at that time we could also pursue legislative authority if that decision were made. the earliest that congestion pricing could be i am manied if that decision is made at the end of the next phase of analysis is 2015. again, that's the earliest, but it remains to be seen what the decision is on next steps. so i'll close just by saying the actions that the board will consider tomorrow, as i mentioned, there is no implementation decisio

the airlines are actually folding in an extra $10 to get on to -- to charge customers for flying on those peakant to travel to see their family and friends during the holidays. >> it's a way to gauge them. >> no doubt. there were other frees for frequent flyer miles. that was supposed to be a reward program. >> this is going after the most loyal customers. which, confounds me. but they're charging as much as $150 each way to redeem your frequent flyer miles for a quote/unquote free ticket or to upgrade to business class. i just paid $250 to upgrade to business class using my miles. i had to actually pay over and above my airfare an extra $250 on a round trip to phoenix to update to business class. >> sometimes it's not even worth using the miles. >> a lot of people are really disenchanted with miles. they're giving away so many of them, you get a credit card you can get a million miles so they're just simply not worth as much as they used to be. >> talk about outrageous fees. we heard about this over the summer, costing to use the rest room? they are charging you a fee to use the rest room on

ranger john captured the release at its peak on his cell phone. >> you get to a certain point when there is so much water in the dam, you have to open always spillways and you can hear the water sucking from the lake and actually going down to the spillway. and it's so loud and so raging, like i said, it shakes -- it's shaking the ground under you. >> reporter: marin's rainfall systems 160% of normal in some places is a blessing for the water supply. but a problem for the ross valley sanitary district's failing sewer system. crews today were pick up the final sections of a hastily constructed sewer bypass. it was put in place after a number of spills sent as much as 2.5 million gallons of raw untreated sewage on streets, school grounds and ultimately downcourt court creek. the district's business manager told cbs 5 the emergency repairs held up under the increased load of the rains. the environmental protection agency has entered the investigation into the spill and the ross valley sanitation district today told us they will not be commenting any further while the investigation is under
