they do not take over the p.g. in the delivery of the energy, metering, and billing. -- do not take over the pg&e delivery. it provides a different electricity source. they still do the distribution. you would still call them if you need service, and all of those things continue, and state law provides that customers will be given an opportunity to opt out. it is a system that your enrolled and unless you opt out. it provides for two opt out options before we cut over, and two after at no cost, obviously. it provides the customers the ability to choose the supplier for their energy, and they have a choice based on the environmental impact and their own personal views on what they would like to have. this started back in 2002, when state law allowed for them to take effect. in may 2004, the board of supervisors established our first cca program. in 2005, the mayor declared the official part of the program so that we could work with pg&e, and then the budget was changed to put $5 million into the budget " to have see

so, what you have now is typically a bill from p.g. and e., a gas portion and an electric portion cleared marked. look at the electric portion. you'll get a usage area and a box at the end. it will break down like this. it says five rate tiers you call them. you get a baseline rate at a cheap amount. you get another 30% amount at a cheap rate. this is your baseline rates, these two. but when you use more, you pay more. and what it looks like graphically is, boy, there is a lot up here. so these rates are where your big expenses come. if you're in these rates, solar can make a lot of sense. they go up very dramatically, 222 cents, 32. let's say we have a case study. you have a $100 electric only. that's $1,200 a year. after 10 years, it's $12,000 if rates don't rise. let's assume that rates rise at the historical average which has been 6% over the past 30 years. so let's assume -- i think that might be conservative, let's assume that. so that means that after 10 years, you'll probably have paid out $16,000 and your bill by then will be

and also all the way through d.c., anne arundel p.g., parts of montgomery county, into northern virginia. flash flood warnings means warnings -- flooding is happening. you cannot be driving around because sometimes the flooding will just take over the car. it will take over a roadway. and so they're asking you, please stay off the roads. just stay home tonight. find a good book, find a movie. just do not go out in this flash flooding. here's the tick tock, we call that every hour by hour, we'll do it every three hours. saturday, now, 8:30, moving on up. so is the eye. ocean city, you're already going to get in about the next hour, 50 to 60 mile-per-hour winds. that's where jeanne meserve was. getting to atlantic city, there's some just offshore winds of 60 to 70 mile-per-hour winds. there's new york city. you get 60 to 70, and that happens at 5:30 in the morning. there are even -- orange here, that's sandy hook. that's a 70 mile-per-hour sustained wind moving right up into new york city. and wolf, when all of this wind at this point when it's very close to -- about i guess north of wildw

significant drop in the atmosphere is electric charge ahead ground level known as the potential or p.g. it was detected one hundred fifty kilometers about one hundred miles less than a hundred miles southwest of the nuclear facility similar atmosphere changes have occurred elsewhere after nuclear weapons tests and after the church noble accident usual is the result of rain washing the fallout through and from the air but in this case the radiation signature in japan shows that the nuclear fallout was carried over walking distances by dry low altitude wins it's easier and cheaper to measure the earth's electrical field than to continuously run geiger counters looking for a wide variety of different types of radio radiation and radioactive particles so the scientists who carried out the study suggested that if early warning electrical sensors are installed around nuclear reactors are pretty much anywhere else they could be used to detect fallout almost immediately and could serve as a valuable tool for protecting people from exposure to due to nuclear radiation science geeks or greater.

>> i'm picking up now for maryland, significant flash flood warnings for p.g. county, anna arundel county, manassas, virginia. three to six inches of rainfall in that d.c.-northern virginia area and into maryland as well. more rainfall from philadelphia all the way down. literally, wolf, it is raining from this storm in new hampshire and it is raining in south carolina. the size is bigger than most nor'easters like the governor was talking about. the storm is exiting north carolina. it will quickly get back into water. not very warm water so it's not going to regenerate much but at least it won't, point do much. it won't go up or down. we have to see more of this rainfall rain out. then we need to see some dry air get sucked into it from the mountains and that will begin to kill the storm off as it travels up to the north. from dover all the way here through delaware very heavy rainfall. from rehoboth down to ocean city, rain and just pounding waves. really taking away a lot of the beach here. that will continue. this big red box, that's a tornado watch box. no
