there's also the issue of comparing san francisco to other places. it is not impossible to compare. if you have the right consultant looking at the information with more of a compass of where we should be looking and how we should be approaching the information, we have a better chance of generating good results that, as i said before in my opening remarks, it is useful to you as the policy- making body, and hopefully to the mta board and management as well. areas where there would be a direct impact on their own effectiveness, not an exercise in finding blame, but an exercise in finding opportunities to do things better. for that, i think it is better to have people who have seen these variables before and understand how the variables operate and are able to zero in on this quickly. it is worth paying the extra money to get that kind of mileage so that in a few months, you can have a useful document to move forward. that would be the basis for suggesting that this extra amount of money was spent. certainly from the perspective of authority, we deal with all of these issues. complia

lastly, i think the issue of comparative studies should not be underestimated. as we mentioned before, looking at the past compared to the future and what we believe the future is, again, looking at doing something about potential climatic change verses in case we don't do something about it, i think again, would provide a place for public communication and regulation process. >> thank you. yes? >> i'm with the hydrologist, barry wilson eluded to this, i think it's important to monitor what is happening and keep on that. the projection of trends is a good way to at least get a handle on something and also feedback can go to climate modelers and they can adopt their models if need be. that points toward more of a 50 year horizon more than a reasonable projection to make. it's nice to show it for a hundred years but that's pretty well mostly beyond all of our planning endeavors. there is a climate effort that was trying to be set up in 3 hundred stations and now it's scaled to one hundred. the energy commission is trying get another one in california. it's locatin

and as commissioner sugaya was saying, i have a very, very difficult time comparing sections and comparing alternatives by trying to flip through a document electronically. probably because i came into the field much later in life than my grandchildren did perhaps. so i am not as adept at it, but it's the way a lot of people whose research documents in the manner in which we have to is our work and actually do their research. i find nothing wrong with the legislation. i understand it and the reason for it. and so hopefully it will save a few trees here. is there public comment on this item? >> members of the commission, ray hart, open commission and i would like to focus on the benefit of the electronic format availability to the members of the public and also to the benefit of the city. i know when i look into what is available online, i will go to the website and pick up the document and review it online and it might be a 60-page document, but there might be only one or two page which is i really am interested in. b if that is the case, i can print those out at home and the city incurs n

joe biden said don't compare us to the almighty, compare us to the alternative. this is the alternative. all of their free market ideology which they're happy to talk about in the abstract with the pledge they released today. all of their free market ideology they are so proud to brag of in the abstract, it has consequences in the specific. and specifically what they want to do is take apart social security and medicare and care for veterans. which is all nationalized to a certain degree and which all works. it's all stuff that people really depend on in this country. it's really all working pretty okay. and they are running to dismantle it. the republicans do not put that sort of thing in their pledge. this is what their candidates are really running on. >>> joining us now is iraq veteran, patrick murphy of pennsylvania. congressman murphy, thanks very much for your time tonight. >> thanks, rachel. i appreciate that. >> is privatizing veterans' care as third rail of an issue as i think it is? to me this seems like a positively nuclear proposal. >> absolutely. an

because both the republican and democratic parties to a poor job of representing the people now compared to two thousand and three when only forty forty percent felt this way this is a drastic jump especially because in the past conservatives have typically been far less likely than liberals and moderates to support the creation of this third party but this year the reaction is similar across all ideological groups but the people ever get their way or as the two party system simply too strong to fight well joining me to discuss it is matt welch editor in chief of reason magazine matt thanks so much for being here this is interesting because you know if you look at the numbers usually conservatives are very cool with the two party system they don't mind it and all of a sudden they're up there fifty four percent compared to you know sixty and sixty one of the liberals and moderates there agree with that so why do you think that is well let's keep in mind it's because conservatives don't hold power and suddenly power doesn't seem as as a well run as it did back in the horrible you know when

therefore, you can compare apples to apples. they have a standard calculator that they use on the web and they include that printout on your bid and they have to file that printout in your rebate application. so there is another possibility of lowering costs, the group buy. when i went, in i went in with a bunch of friends because i thought i wanted to bring people in because i knew all of these people, these greeny homeowners that were needing to walk the talk and because i brought a lot of businesses vendor, they lowered all of our price because this economy is of scale. maybe that price can drop 50 cents a watt or more. that's another idea. there are ones that are just beginning where you can actually lease the system. you don't have to put any money up front at all. somebody else will own the system for you. you may pay an upfront cost a little bit that is less than what you might pay normally or some of them may not at all, depending on how they can make the finances work. the whole goal is to try to get you into p.v. with
