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 pay attention we need national leadership we can get that by invoicing our voices as mayors (clapping) you know, solar is not the only industry that's thriving there's thanks to a business tax for clean tech firms 0 over 2 hundred and 10 having their haushdz in san francisco their compliment

like german to reduce the energy by half and to be tossing 80 powers percent of our remaining energy by the year of 2050 our energy policy our top priority is the safe security phasing out the nuking last year energy and reducing our reliance on you switching to renewable sources with to become less vulnerable to external events one of our aims in the context is to have a high-level of supply you security and rely the costs the energy must continue to be affordable for community the gas resources the fact along with the global gained p means that prices will rise and in the long-term the efficiency and the use of renewable energy may cost money in the short term but high investments will pay off in the long-term. our plans to extend the energy efficiency we're going to reduce the informs you will fuldz by 2020 and third by mitigating the climate change in order to limit the impact of climate change we must initiate steps to reduce emissions. we therefore aim to cut emissions by the year 2020 and 90 percent by 2050 and fourth we're reducing the use of expansive use of making energy ef

star so that you're using less power what does that mean energy star? that's a program the us epa has a the environmental protection agency yes they have a certification i think probably most people are familiar with energy star or if they're buying a washer and dryer but they certify other things as well and it can be commercial refrigerators it can be you know what types of equipment you're putting in your factory? what does it mean? it means that it has gone through a process and that it uses less power okay than a traditional appliance and well you need more of that we do and i think that that's something that people understand but again going back to some of what you were saying earlier what can your viewers do? we actually have a program here in new jersey the clean energy program and it's not quite as well known as energy star but they also subsidize different appliances you might go to shop rite and find you can find a compact flourescent for a dollar whereas a couple years ago they were five dollars and that's all funded through the rate payers

we have to convert our entire energy use from fossil fuel and nuclear to renewable energy. that will require millions of jobs, thousands of new businesses. we have to transform the buildings in the world to your power plant said they can generate screen actors in the near building and it becomes our power plants. we're doing that now. we have to store all of that energy. that requires millions of jobs. we have to put in an energy internet, transform the entire electricity grid of the world. imagine that. it distributive energy internet. a 30-year billed out, a lot of jobs. finally we have to put in an automated transport and logistics great. over the next 40 years we have two generations who can build the environment to lay out. but as of this comes in, it is smart, intelligent, can program itself with the small supervisory work force. we have to ask, what do we do that? much of the employment already is now quickly migrating from the marketplace to the collaborative commons, the social economy. and that is because in the social economy it is social requires humans to e

we have have to convert their entire energy use from fossil fuels and nuclear to renewable energy. that requires millions of jobs and thousands of new businesses. we have to transform all the buildings in the world to power plants or you can generate green electricity in your buildings. they become your power plants. we are doing that in europe and china. we have to store that energy so i can be used for many than that requires millions of jobs. we have to put in an energy internet so we have to transform the entire electricity grid of the world to a distributed energy internet. that's a 30-year buildout with lots of java and finally an automated transport and logistics grid. i think over the next 30 years or 40 years we have two generations who can be involved in semiskilled, skilled and professional were and professional or to and professional were to lay out this internet of things but as this internet of things comes and it's smart. it's intelligent. you can program itself with a small supervisory work for so we will have to ask what do we do then? much of the employment alread

a joint energy policy on producing and storing energy.rmany is just now in the process of fine-tuning its energy turnaround, a strategic plan to move away from fossil fuels. at the moment germany can cover around a quarter of its energy needs from renewables. at the same time coal has recently been on the rise and 15% still comes from the country's remaining nuclear reactors. so, there's still some way to go if germany want to meet its target of 45 % renewables by 2025 >> storage is the buzzword when it comes to that. here norway might hold the key to solving that problem. its vast hydroelectric power plants could function as giant batteries for the whole continent. sounds like a great idea, but not all norwegians are convinced. >> water, water everywhere. in addition to oil and gas deposits, norway's abundant water makes it one of europe's most important energy producers. tall mountains and a high precipitation provide ideal conditions for hydropower. blÅsjØ, the country's largest reservoir, lies at an elevation of more than a thousand m

because we've had no energy plan. and it's, to me, that's the -- that's a possible problem for the next administration. >> when it's clear that he will be the republican nominee, and with energy taking center stage in the campaign, bush taps dick cheney, a man with deep experience in both politics and the oil industry, to be his running mate. >> i believe you're looking at the next vice president of the united states. >> the two running mates make the case that the clinton administration did not know how to handle the issue of oil. but a george w. bush administration would. >> those gasoline prices are going up. you know why? there's been no energy plan. >> the fact we don't have an energy policy out there is one of the major storm clouds on the horizon for our economy. >> rewind a year before that election. dick cheney is ceo of the oil services firm halliburton. speaking at the institute of petroleum's fall conference in london. he says, for your over 100 years, we as an industry have had to deal with a pesky proble

and energy and structure systems. what i'm wondering about is does it talk about sustainability of cultural resources? i don't think it does, but in light of our discussion today, i'm wondering how if there is a way to bring in our sustainability of cultural resources that relate to the built environment but more expanded than just a physical building but they do relate to the built environment. i guess that would be my thought about this objective. >> mr. frye? >> commissioners, tim fry, i hear your concerns about sustainability policies. just to give you a little bit more background, this was really meant to align with a lot of discussions as shelley mentioned with the studies prepared by preservation green lab and other organizations to show that alignment between preservation and sustainability. so we do have some existing policies in other elements that we were trying to also connect to. i think i hear where you are going with this and we'll rephrase these and rework them and may reach out to you on some of those

but he was the average energy producer. nobody thought he was a superstar but then with for rations it is one of the top fields of the world and he happened to be on the land and loved it. so he ended up doing pretty well but i am a believer in the market signals the individual started to get excited and focus on shale production rightabout would oil and gas prices started to soar. that is one of the reasons i am excited about innovation you could make money from shale production. i am not a vague decider of top down the also that incremental progress you have individual spending years to make it work that is why i am optimistic about alternative solar wind would you talk to people working on them they are excited. we are not there yet but people throwing money at it and there is money to be made. why are we there yet? just like the guys that but from 198-23-1998 to make it work with real progress you will see the same thing with the alternative where sustainable sources of energy. i am optimistic this era of the frackers h

but he never took that into renewable energy, just never believed in renewable energy . probably a man of his time. when he lived renewable energy just was not ready for prime time yet. i would argue that he is now he sells off his company, discovers the shell, proves that it can be done, sells office company in about 2001. right about the same time you have this young guy in oklahoma city who came from a family that had produced governors and senators but sort of came from a little bit of the non multi-sided that family. and he starts off and is what is called a landman. he is someone who goes out and talks to the individuals to get them to lease their land. he is incredibly good at it. he has the gift of gab. he is just one of the most interesting people you ever meet. he will, when you talk to him, makes you feel like you were the most interesting person he has ever met, just incredibly charismatic. he has this vision, sees what is going on in fort worth. he says, not just to my going to go and take this company to chesapeake which almost went bankrupt a couple years

the other benefit of the process is that it does generate energy. and energy, that between that, and the digesters which we will then reuse, we will reuse on the site, and plan to use them reuse on the site and the energy necessary to generate all of the steam to recirculate back into the thermal process and so that it in fact, will be self-containing and generate enough energy to generate enough steam to keep a circular loop and we will have the gas that would be converted to cng and electricity and which will offset s costs associated with the over all operations of the plants. in a very simple analysis, after spending many and it will be a lot east tore eat, but it will be raw in your stomach and hard to digest, but your body will digest it, and take the same and boil it and mash it and then eat it and it is easy consume and it is easy to digest, that is basically what the process does, and it pretreats this sludge, so that when it gets to the digester and the bacteria have a very easy time digesting, and it breaks it down, but virtue of the temp

the reason this is happening ali is it takes a lot of energy now omake energy.ll the easy energy basically has been taken. >> the stuff where you can drill hole into the ground. >> and oil comes out. >> we just talked about oil in the actor and rossneft. >> and the extreme. if you want to picture yourself on a little island, a certain amount of iron ore, certain number of people, certain amount of water and you need all these resources to produce energy, what are you going to do? that's it, game over, because it's nothin to do with the ener. the energy production sounds great when you are living in north dakota. but if you magnify that, it's going otake more and more resources to produce it. >> our consumption is going down, we're producing it because we're going osel to sell it? >> we need the extra energy that we're actually producing, we're using additional energy oproduce it. -- to produce it. in other words if we were using the same amount of energy in 2003 this would be all the way down here. we're not using this extra energy for sake of the consumer, we'r

so here you are, the energy reporter for the wall street journal. you covered the deeper rise in oil spill in the gulf for which she won an award you are covering energy. that means covering fracking you are going all over the country to do it. did you get a telephone call from your parents. i would like you to tell us about that telephone call and what it was about. it is too good of the story not to share. >> i started covering fracking back in 2003. after doing this about ten years. i went on my first job in 2003. so by 2008 or so i had been to several. i went north of fort worth and watched the expansion around the southwest. i got a phone call from my mother. she said, you know the land that we'll with some friends a few hours outside of philadelphia? a company can buy and want to lease it. they want to drill zero wells there. this is preposterous. i had grown up during weekends up here and summer vacation. about 100 acres. incredibly rocky. this was a rocky area of the farmers did not want. we were able to run around. for city kids, this is wh

the plan aims to cut energy waste and leverage cleaner energy sources by doing two things -- first, it uses a national framework to set achievable state-specific goals to cut carbon pollution per megawatt hour of electricity generated. but, second, it empowers states to chart their own customized path to meet those goals. we know that climate -- that coal and natural gas play a significant role in a diverse national energy mix. the plan builds on actions already under way to modernize aging plants, to increase efficiency, and lower pollution and it paves a more certain path for conventional fuels in a clean energy economy. the epa stakeholder outreach and public engagement in preparation for this rule making was unprecedented. starting last summer, we held 11 public listening sessions around the country. we participated in hundreds of meets with a broad range of stakeholders across the country and we talked with every state. now the second phase of our public engagement has begun. we've already had dozens of calls and meetings with states and other stakeholders in the for formal public
