local buildout also be spended ~ extended if you so chose. those are policy issues that come before you. you could have a program that actually did provide some value to sfpuc in terms of the sale of hetch hetchy power. the rfp and all attachment to the public are back to the powerpoint in san francisco's lafco website and the website is still available. i would say that one request that i have of staff is to work with the sfpuc if that's at all possible, to be on our interview panel with consultants, and also to be available to provide information when a consultant is selected in terms of questions because the number of the data and the information that they need has to come would be best coming from the sfpuc. >> that would be great if public utilities commissioners could make that request of pu c staff. commissioner vietor, i know [speaker not understood] wants to get on. i think his stack is not working. commissioner vietor. >> [inaudible]. emerged in the last go around had to do with recs. does that come up, is that going to be part of t

we understand it will take years to buildout these facilities but start now. why are they wrong?you think they're wrong? >> well the gas that is going to be exported from this country today, ask the gas producers, it is going to japan. it is going to china. it is going to south korea. it is not going to europe. >> peter it is now. but what they're saying you have to begin the export facilities now so that eventually you can do that. you know how people and markets discount what has happened for future. they have already, the minute that we agree, we have 24 or so export terminals now pending approval by the u.s. government. it is true that the obama administration just approved one in oregon this week but, if they are approved, you know that will affect natural gas in the future, no? >> oh absolutely. in order to build these facilities, david, you have to have contracts on the opposite side. so that gas is essentially been spoken for. and so when you look at this, we're looking at these permits that have just been put in line today. these are not new permits. these are existing p

standing ready to assist in the cleanpowersf program and move forward with an energy efficiency buildout. as some of you may know that we are already operating about a $7 million a year program. we have a team of now nine engineers who go out to buildings every day to provide preliminary assessments and do quality assurance checks on contractors' work. we have over 55 contractors working in our program and we believe that we're stimulating 150 to 200 full-time equivalent installation jobs on an annual basis with an additional back office coefficient to add to that. so, we stand ready to participate in this program and help out in any way that we can. thank you. >> thank you very much. commissioner mar. >> chair avalos, can i just ask mr. bloom head, if you could comment, we had a short discussion of potential cpuc funding to the tune of 800 million statewide for energy efficiency use and a letter coming from the board of supervisors to urge access to those funds. do you have any suggestions of what we as a city could do to access more of those funds? >>> well, cleanpowersf is a way of ac

the country's massive buildout over the last decade has driven global prices. but china's recent slow down has triggered investor concerns about the outlook for copper demand. concerns economist zach carable calls overblown. >> it's not as if the overall activity within china has gone from massive to minimal. it's that the pace has changed. >> reporter: but it's more than just the slowdown. copper has become a major source of collateral for cash in china, and that's led to speculative buying. some analysts estimate 60 to 80% of copper imports in china have been tied to corporate borrowing. then last week, solar panelmaker chari became the first one of those companies to default on a corporate debt payment. >> what's happened is people have been using copper to finance, and with the demand coming down and really more financial instruments than really supply and demand, the price of copper is falling much faster than people expected. >> reporter: copper prices plunged nearly 10% over three days, following chari's defaul . the worry is if more chinese companies de

so, the goal of the buildout obviously was to answer the questions and to provide a plan to improve electric power to the citizens and businesses he within san francisco. obviously the project objectives have not changed with cleanpowersf, that is to reduce energy costs, create higher renewable energy sources for the citizens of this city, to reduce exposure to fuel cost volatility. you will recall cca started because of the bankruptcy of pg&e and the unreliability of certain transmission issues. we're at the end of the transmission of the power grid, was to increase reliability and improve environmental quality. so, what we're looking at asking and what we're asking for is a consultant or consultants to create a city-wide integrated clean energy and efficiency installation network. now, there's a number of components. the rfp has been attached to your packet. i wasn't going to go into all of those, but basically to tell you that the rfp -- runs parallel with the current program as devised with the shell, but it also asks for alternatives to the shell contract such as as you heard previously

proposed world wide web in 1989, around the same time al gore was beginning to fund the massive buildouternet, which is the plumbing for system like the web. >> what was it that was so unique? there were notions of hypertext. apple had a hypercard project. thatwas it about the web was so revolutionary different? >> the revolutionary part was twofold. one, the idea that multiple computers would be able to communicate using the web technology. the other amazing part is the time when tim berners-lee suggested the idea of live connectivity where you could click on things and reach out to other documents came exactly when it was needed. you heard mark talk about al gore contribution to laying out the global infrastructure, the backbone. at the same time, .com's were coming online at -- asking for access to the wonderful thing they had same. what was missing was an easy user interface. what he did was to suggest a concept that was later implemented in a variety of ways , in this case browser, internet explorer emma which gave the consumer and business man a wonderful simple, graphical -- graph

only one that can afford to pay money to buildout networks are big carriers. they have to continue to buy spectrum. there is a big spectrum auction coming up. that is really let problem. there is not enough bandwidth out there. >> i hear excuses. you hear what our viewers had to say about this we had a couple of tweets i will read. damage el says the word greed comes to mind. i'm a capitalist, greed is greed. he disagrees with you, larry. month at this says, compared to regulated landlines cell phones are way too high for the amount of infrastructure higher. which is sort of an interesting argument. even though you say bandwidth is limited. >> i'm in the landline business. the landline business is ton of excess capacity and companies like myself, buy that excess capacity. in the cell phone business, it is not true. there is no excess capacity. carriers do have to spend billions of dollars to build these networks. there just not enough out there. gerri: i think we'll have more combinations coming. the sprint chairman is talking publicly about his desire to buil

assessment which now includes design guidelines and all of the rules that make good requirements for buildout. when you put those elements together whether we are using a vendor or predictive analytics, big data, then we will put these things together and i will be the first line arbeiter and when we have to escalate above that, we do. but i think more and more people are doing that. the hard part is that some of this stuff is happening for smaller organizations at the procurement level. it is the young, maybe attorney, usually a contract manager, who is facing some kind of question about maybe liability for a vendor who will be providing data. they may or may not know anything about these risks and rewards or what the controls are. they may have a sense that there should be some security liability training but this is where the loss in translation is alarming. >> what does that look like on the backend when something goes wrong? how good is governance at that point? >> governance is something that people look at when you are in the situation and people are trying to evaluate whether this inc

instead, their buildout and the status quo was reestablished as quickly as possible. >> we have time for one or possibly two more questions. >> my question although you all were brilliant, thank you. in terms of a solution to the political deadlock, if we need to amend the constitution, does not require going through state houses. does not require the same understeer for a political process here in arizona. >> the word impossible. i understand what you're saying. the key to the thing is if we get the kids and barbers are. if we get that kid to decide that he doesn't have a lot of opportunities, but maybe to repair his country. i live in the world of polling. i look at polling data all the time. i just wish politicians would actually follow them. they stayed in the race. if they looked at polls, they would know everything bill is saying about prosecuting bankers, people love that idea. they would know everything barbara is talking about -- people are pretty decent in this country. the disconnect in our countries we don't tell people the grassroots politics actually happens in that it

spectrum, and i would argue that the solution is not spectrum caps, that the solution is strict buildout requirements and the willingness to yank licenses if necessary. >> to yank licenses -- >> who do not meet the buildout requirements. >> okay. what about this question of licensed spectrum versus unlicensed spectrum? >> oh, sure. >> that came up earlier. and, i mean, to me, it seems like in one dimension it's an engineer -- a lot of it involves an engineering sort of issue, but there may be questions, again, of ill soft call perspective -- philosophical perspective in terms of having property rights to the spectrum or not. how do you approach this looking at the question of licensed versus unlicensed spectrum? >> so for the foreseeable future we're going to have both exclusive license bands and bands that are shared. i tend to be more in favor of clearing bands and inclusive licensing, but i'm not foreclosing any options as it relates to spectrum sharing. in fact, if you look, spectrum sharing is working today, every day for consumers in terms of wi-fi and unlicensed spectrum, and i'm

well-positioned to take advantage obviously of elevated oil prices but as well perhaps an energy buildout in the euro area. david: there it is, gdp zy is the ticker symbol. thanks, guys. charlie and mark, and gary will be back in a few minutes when s&p futures close. thank you. sandra: average ceo made more than $10 million last year but the question is did they all deserve it? big payouts there. who are three ceos, we have somebody coming up pinpointing three ceos that may be destroying shareholder value. bottom line, are some of these ceos getting overpaid, david? david: are they worth it? return on investment, i don't think so? not in all cases anyway. this is what sandy was talking about. a new ruling has the potential to turn the multibillion-dollar college sports world upside down. are students employees of the university? if they play sports? if so, are they entitled to form or join a union? students as employees? what do you think? tell us what you think. the should the ncaa players be allowed to unionize? is it time players got paid? tweet us, fbnatb. you're answers later this ho

you do not need to buildout requirements. >> what about this question of license spectrum versus unlicensed spectrum. that came up earlier and to me it seems like in one dimension it's engineering but a lot of it involves engineering issues but there may be questions again of philosophical perspective in terms of having property rights in the spectrum are not. how do you approach looking at the question of license versus unlicensed spec from? >> for the foreseeable future we are going to have exclusive license bands and bands that are shared. i tend to be more in favor of clearing bans an exclusive licensing but i'm not proposing any options as a relates to spectrum sharing. in fact if you look at spectrum sharing every day for consumers in terms of wi-fi and spectrum. i find the wi-fi providers are some of the most truly innovative and entrepreneurial services that we can find in the marketplace and therefore, sorry. and therefore i'm in favor of what they're able to do. there is one thing we certainly have to recognize and that is that the federal government is going to reduce its spectru

we had $100 billion that just went in innovation, energy, scientific research, buildout of .he internet, or tax incentives what we have not had, especially on the infrastructure side, that we would like to have is a more sustained ongoing commitment, and that is something we are proposing now, is a four-year reauthorization plan for service transportation that would put more dollars in, but reform the put new institutions like an infrastructure bank, some of these sustained ongoing things we are trying hard to do and may build on what we have already done. >> into someone on the right to would say i do not believe that government is going to be able to use that money effectively to stimulate the economy, that the economy is still terrible, what kind of evidence would you offer them that in this era it actually shows benefits? >> i would point them to economic evidence, the rates of andrn for infrastructure, how that exceeds the cost of the federal government. goell them why don't you talk to business leaders. almost all of them uniformly talk about the importance of infrastructure. i th

look at the privacy impact assessment, which is now including design guidelines analysis rules for buildout and when you put those data sets together or using the vendor said because retailing analytics and big data. then we'll put things together and i will be the line arbiter and if we have to escalate about that, we do. more and more people are doing that and i think the hard part of some of this stuff is happening for smaller organizations after procurement level. so it is the young navy attorney, usually a contract manager who is facing some sort of question about liability for a vendor who's going to be providing data. they may or may not know anything about these risks or rewards her with the controls are. they may have a sense that there should be security liability training, but this is for the trans-nation piece is alarming. >> what does that look like on the back and when something goes wrong? >> you know, my governance system being that you look at when you win in that situation, people are trying to evaluate whether this incident has occurred at a company that is diligently tak

by combining energy efficient tenant buildouts with energy star buildings, we'll double down on a successful program and optimize energy savings in commercial buildings. in addition to tenant star, this legislation includes three other important energy provisions and, again, i thank mr. wit field for your leadership -- whitfield for your leadership. first, it's going to increase the energy efficiency of federal government data centers. they are huge energy consumers. data centers are used -- use massive amounts of energy and this legislation will finally begin to address the enormous federal energy bill for those facilities. second, this bill addresses the serious regulatory problem involving large scale water heaters. you know, sometimes we have an argument back and forth about regulations. what i love about this bill, among other things, is we're fixing a problem. we're not just fighting about it. it's going to make needed changes to energy efficiency standards for large water heaters that rused in demand response programs. these water heaters act as residential energy storage devices and

picking up the buildout ten million you're. welcome to our international coming to you live from moscow in the russian capital . well it's just a month since the coup in ukraine but there's almost no trace of unity left among those who fought side by side to topple the yana covert government the activists that remain on care of straights expressed distrust of the current authorities and refused to remove their tents until the presidential election hardliners have all but declared war on some within the new government with both sides threatening to escalate the situation as a marine across the river explains. they came together looking to oust the presidents. they succeeded by using force some have gone all the way to the top while others remained on the streets but now it's time for a reality track as friends become enemies looking to weigh in at any cost probably certainly it was before the right sector has never supported and does not support the integration of ukraine into the european union we believe ukraine should not be
