eric brooks representing san francisco green party and our city and representatives here of san francisco clean energy advocates. our message today is this report is clear and decisive evidence that we can now move forward. all of the issues that were brought up by staff and i have read all their comments on the red line document are as you say talking about clarity. none of them in any way question the findings of this report so what we have now is two different -- over the last couple of years two different consultant reports that show 9,000, 10,000 jobs, huges amounts of megawatt energy at the same or lower rate than pg&e the way it's looking like now and we resolved the issues that sf puc came up last year around jobs creation. we might want to remember that the controller last year said there might be negative 100 jobs. now we have ted egan saying this is right and we're claiming thousands of jobs and where exactly the jobs are and the exact number is not as important as moving the program forward. we see that it's more sensible idea to do what sonoma and marin have done and do 50%,

are you leaving or you going to speak >> i think this is last time. >> eric brooks san francisco green party local grandmothers our city and clean caliber advocates just to really thank the cac for the sleeper work over over the last year and on the clean power sf resolution which mirrors the comments on the earlier item on the internet report it their resolution was a strong statement to start clean power sf for many of the reasons stated earlier but also the ground water issue that is, i think that's something your movdz well with but we need that on or about is crucial and both of those issues have to do with global warming so you one thing open clean power sf that get touched on but not sufficiently noble is clean power sf great to deal with the climate crisis and great for jobs and great for building trades but it also the report made clear that caught after the cac did their report it makes it clear that the san francisco public utilities commission will make direct revenue from clean power sf staff can be added now they've shown us a better way to do it and cam malcolm has been

eric brooks representing san francisco green party the grassroots organization we're a a i city with the clean alliance my comments obey will be period of time annuity but you neglected to ask for comment on 6 i wanted to talk about todd pr and i think the report i saw is a reflection of what a tight ship todd with an ran really well idle machine there have been many times on the clean power sf issue when advocates had the item i read although we're not financial experts to disagree with regard to clean energy but it's important to note we wouldn't be able to talk about clean power sf if it had not been for ed and another gentleman to start getting serious about the board of supervisors to start getting the city agencies and other primary customers of hetch hetchy power to start paying for more power and that was something that no one thought would be done before todd and ed came along to deal with that and all it took was them showing the numbers and todd doing his job to show you and we as advocates did join in and make sure and came in support so together the environmental communi

eric brooks. >> good afternoon commissioners eric brooks and the sustainability chair for the san francisco green party and i also coordinate the grass roots organization of our committee here in san francisco i sent these comments and a very important study document to you through your secretary claudia gara please make sure you get these documents so you can read them and let me touch base on this just by reading it is the easiest way to go over it in the beginning. dear commissioners, studies show that vastly higher amounts of cancer causing dust is created when implosion is used for building rather than mechanical removal and prohibited in urban areas. i'd like to kick it up a notch and say you don't need a study because this kind of demolition absolutely should not be done in a in a city in an urban area in particular a 2005-case study by environmental health health health calgory states clearly problematic issues surrounding public health protection in effected areas that could extend
