economics, but i actual, without even having those numbers in front of me knew that this was going to excite us. i actually know that when we unveil this tonight, the feeling that i'm going to be having, is we just won another world series because it's going to bring that kind of excitement into city. and to have this timed in a way in which we have just finished the 75th anniversary of the celebration of the bay bridge, we have opened the auditorium and on our bay for the first time we have just finished the world series and the 55 sealing on our bay is a celebration for san francisco and this incredible rebounds that this city is experiencing can really only be complimented by the arts, because allows the arts to celebrate all the other things that we are trying to do economically to be covered, i think is an incredible cap on our future on what we can experience and exemplify to the rest of the world. this leaves me to an appreciation to the artist that he has not only visualized what 25,000 led lights can do but discovered a fashion in which will not see the same pattern at any time experie

because we're going to go all over when really we want to know where is it the stuff that really excited us sitting here today. and thinking back, i guess one of the big reveals you're looking at doing a change to the program, you're investigating to do work in which shell buys the hydro power. i'm guessing that's going to impact the potential or potential not of rate setting next week. or is that something you're going to have answered to the satisfaction of the commissioners at the sfpuc? >> i don't expect that we will have any kind of confirmation from shell about specific resources by then. what i can say is that our goal is to have a portfolio with shell where every resource from which they purchase power is greenhouse gas free, california produced, and with unionized maintenance. >> okay, thanks. so, if you can walk us through the renewable character in city. we had at the last discussion policy committee, we talked about recs and what that does or doesn't do to some of the other goals and the jobs piece, if you can move us forward with that. >> yes. and just quickly, there are sort o

money taken from corporate coffers in some fashion, that doesn't sound like something that would excite us. we know that it did not excite the business roundtable. but it doesn'tsound like it would excite many ceos either. >> thais true. >> there so a lot of people that are not members of these buness groups. a lot of them talk about the iividual rat and we are interested in maki our corporate tax more competitive. at the same time we have toget to taae care of the small businesses that actually create the jobs and are still paying this at a much higher tax rate. so there are two sides to that also. lou: there looks to be a significant trap. we have 23 million people i this country are unemployed or underemployed and the president has already forgot that. lethe republicans have an opportunityo lead us on this issue. and are you going to seize the oprtunity and do so? >> well, here is how we are going to lead on the issue. the only savings we have had in the past two years have been the budget control act. we are making it very clear. we have made it clar in the commerce committee and we ar

this is a real leader and we're still waiting for apple tv to do something that excites us. >> it ishink people got excited about that they are you able to use it on the macintosh but only working with a couple of maps right now they're working with developers to improve that. liz: we know google is not as highly rated with a market cap the which stock would you buy? >> it depends utter willingness to risk if apple does come out with a good product for the second half of the year than that will swing broadly if not it will go with the wrong direction although google's is a pretty steady it is hard for them to break that revenue stream making go up and down not like in a big swing but the revenue is almost bulletproof. liz: rob andrew lee and cady , everybody read her column is fantastic. holding onto the gains just five minutes away from the closing bell. we will be right back. the boys used double miles from their capital one venture card to fly home for the big family reunion. you must be garth's father? hello. mother. mother! traveling is easy with the venture card becauseou can f

this is really exciting for us. >> we're going to tell a quick story on how private data can stimulate civic innovation. this summer in singapore, we had about 30 data sets opened p. up. one data set was about a million or so records of taxis all over town. typically taxi data stuff, it's hard to get, private companies, they don't want to open it up competitively. one taxi company at the last minute opened up, motion loft made it efficient to see what would happen. because they contributed to the stuff, we had five separate teams working on could we do collaborative consumption of sharing taxis, build a dash panel for companies to know where to go. had i hatch i had been working on a model to see how much overlap there was. they sent us to tokyo to work on that. so, this one set, a million records of where the taxis were not only led to a lot of innovation, but people realized 15% of all taxi routes kind of where people went, about 15% of that was all overlapped. so, a city that never really thought about collaborative consumption or sharing suddenly is looking at that. parking data wa

we are taking a look at some of the most exciting technologies in elevators. george, tell us about destination elevators. >> this is the technology of the future. probably the biggest single investment in elevators. san francisco has embraced the technology more than any other city in the country. a big advantage with us is passengers get to their floors sooner and there is more opportunity of customization of features for individual service. four issues of security and accessibility, this is a big advantage over traditional elevators. digest i understand these are rehabilitated upgrades of existing elevators? >> yes, these are upgrades to the original elevators from 1980. all the controls and wiring has changed but the physical mechanisms are the same. >> how much energy to these use? >> with all of the things that we did hear, energy savings is about 50% from where we started. that is a significant improvement for such a major system. >> tell me how it works. >> this is the hall keypad, which controls the elevator. the system asks where you are going before you get into the
