green. excellent. all right, all right. green. it's green. green is right in the middle. it turns out a yellow green. a yellow green is what most of the sun emits mostly. it's like a chartreuse. when i was a teenager, honeys, i had a chartreuse convertible. you could see that thing 15 miles down the road, okay? and you know why you could see it so well? because most of the light from the sun is that color, and guess what we have evolved to see best of all? take a guess. - yellow green. - yellow green. we used to call it chartreuse. is that what why they paint fire trucks that color these days? did you notice that, paul? what are the new fire trucks? they used to be red. what are the new ones? - yellow green. - yellow green. and why they be yellow green, honey, huh? why? because you want to see those things coming down the road. and so they find you and said, "hey, let's paint them a color that human beings can see the most." and, yeah. do you notice the color of your street lights? what color they'd be, gang? - yellow. - yellow. a little greenish, a little yellow greenish

many greens want to see a shift in the tax burden. [speaking german] >> nowhere else is there such an unequal distribution. that's that's why i think we should raise the top tax% from 42% to 49%. >> the greens want to raise it to the important 50% mark and voted down one amendment at 52%. they did exceed personal wealth on one million euros. there was also alliance with the social democrats. >> the next german government will be red-green. life is much too colorful to be dominated by the black and yellow of current coalitions. [applause] >> they became the first leader to address the green conference. she urged both parties to shoes their groups carefully. >> i think we should be more relaxed. our opponents want us to lose our cool and start infighting. >> the two parties have already started to find plenty of common ground, such as the minimum wage. many areas of potential dispute remain. >> our political correspondent. early yes he gave us his assessment of whether or not it is a wise move for the greens to lock themselves in allian

they will be demonstrations on the marina green. there will be demonstrations on the water with bads and pre-show regatace and outreach of the america's cup and i urge you to get more public and butts out on boats please support the construction of the marina green village. thank you. >> thank you. >> is there anyone anyone else who would like to make public comment on this item? seeing none public comment is closed. commissioners. >> entertain a motion. >> so moved. >> second. >> moved and second. all in favor? >> aye. >> thank you. >> we are now on item 11 which is general public comment continued. i have one card. lois paulwhite. okay. i need you to come to the mic. thank you. >> hello. i louis paul white. i am one of the local bay area museum artists and i'm currently doing a map of san francisco. i fund all of my own projects and have been doing this for decades so i'm here to show you what i have been doing. i have been including your landmarks of a park. >> do you need a hand? somebody give her assistance. >> the last show wa

is green. and that that's going to somewhat determine the rate structure which we're going to have to vote on. so, i think that part we understand, but we i think are eager to get to a place of a pretty solid recommendation of, you know, which one we should go with because that creates -- that gives us the greatest potential for successful program. one other piece on the transitional is the substitution clause which i think is quite important which my understanding is -- i don't think it's procurement. i think it has to do with local buildout. >> right. >> once we build a renewable green supply, green source, that we can then substitute what we're purchasing from shell, correct? >> if -- go ahead. >> no, you go ahead. >> no, there's a caveat to that, and you're right. >> yes, we can substitute the power or we can expand the program to include other neighborhoods or other types of customers. >> right, right. okay. >> and i think those are strategic decisions that we'll be making as we go along a

when you sign up for green e, what pg and e is proposing to do is to buy their green e certificates to green up or cover, if you will, the natural gas fired portion, the nuclear portion, the hydro portion of the service, so that it would become a 100% renewable product, but only that 19 or so percent that is rps, you know, california renewable would be comparable to what we're offering because it's certified california renewable, the balance of that portfolio would be green e certified under pg and e's proposed application which doesn't meet the same renewable criteria that our 100% renewable portfolio meets. >> great, and the 30 thousand, is there a sense of where the residents who will sign up for pg and e's program, where they would come from, is there real effort to undercut the folks in san francisco that would sign up to our program? >> well, i would expect that pg and e will be marketing the program throughout their service territory, once it's authorized, i would expect that from the numbers they're pretbacker projecting, it's from throughout those 30 thousand accounts are thro

green investing that is happening with the government, less than in green start up us. one of tholce places is energy efficient technology and affordable and subsidized housing. we are seeing it with federal tax cuts and natural gas that is now on the table finally for proposal. i think there are areas where government should be involve would. >> steve, it is when the government gets involved particularly with fiscer by the way. there were plans to roll things out slowly. the government was worried about the bad press on solyndra and pushing them to do the wrong thing. government burrcrats are making micromanagement moves that are dead wrong. >> it gets to the problem. government isolitics, like putting thatening in joe biden's home state. we have green energy created by the natural sector. call would natural gas. windmillings were invented in the medevial times and railroad 19th century technology. let the private sector determine what workings. if people don't like it they don't buy it. >> sawrittena, it is it a fact that middle class taxpayers ended up subsidizing sp

if the greens are softer they're going to have to throw it more than 2/3 of the way up the green to getthat hole ocation. jim: and again, scott will be irst to play here. nick: now you're kind of settled down. you've been really hyped up on adrenaline, very first playoff hole. and now it's kind of a weird feeling going to the second one. it's like who's got the mental strength to keep churning out the intensity shot after shot now? jim: adam was a second-grader, he stayed home to watch greg norman compete in the 1987 masters. and then he was 15 when he saw norman lose to you in 196. hence especially because of that i'd love to win a green jacket, because greg was so close. that was a confident swing by adam. see -- see if he gets the sling off the hill. nick: he does. see if angel can -- they'll end up holding hands next down the fairway, thrive so close. jim: the us the tee shot that cabrera hit in regulation weigh on him? nick: there's the answer. he didn't like it. so he's going to sting a hooky iron. jerry that's asking a lot on this one, wasn't it? nick: wow. it's got to get over t

wasn't green. was buildout part of the idea? >> buildoutvx was part of the idea in the original underlying statutes, yes, ~ that the city adopted. talked about city-owned 150 megawatt wind project that was outside of the city, but it talked about in-city solar. it talked about the different resources that could be relied upon. and it wasn't -- the term local buildout wasn't used, but as it described the resources that would be relied upon, it was dependent on locally developed resources. >> and that would be concurrently with -- >> the meet or beat statement, yes. yes. that's the history on that. >> okay. i'm going to lose a quorum at 5 o'clock. so, i want to alert the commissioners to that. plus we have an executive session where we need to take a motion. so, how much longer do we have on this topic? depend on the commissioners and those who -- >> i just have one last comment, i think, and summary statement. and i appreciate the general manager summarizing because i do think -- i guess my hope was that we would be able to find

it's not always easy to find companies that are being green while making green.not, one ceo has been blazing this front, ingenuity the chairman and ceo of pepsico. we spoke to her last week about efforts to keep the company green. take a look. when i first talked to you, the first thing you told me is you got to go vis it a plant where there is no footprint. it was your aberdeen proving grounds, how has that worked? >> doing very well. in fact, we built casa grande. in modesto, we have -- in modesto, we have energy. when people talk green, it's a nice initiative, in our case, it's not nice to do. it's say must do. we do it for three things, one, it saves us cost, it creates value for our shareholders, second, environmental sustainability gives us a license to operate in every society and community and, third, it makes our employees feel great to come to work for a company that is actually doing the right thing for society. >> let's talk about the latter, when i talk to younger people, it's very clear they don't want any -- they don't want lip service and they're

green is universal. see our little green emblem right here.here at nbc bay area, we are making an effort to go green. >> yes, we are. with a look at how green is always universal. let's check in with meteorologist, christina loren, joining us live at the heritage rose garden in san jose. i love the flowers and dig the hat. >> reporter: well, thank you very much, jon and laura. good morning to you. i wish we had smell-a-vision. it is so gorgeous, the fragrance from all these beautiful roses. i can't describe it. it is so nice. i am joined by the executive director, leslie hamilton. she is going to tell us why it is important to have volunteers coming out here for example to prune these roses. why do you need to prune roses? >> we do it a process called dead heading, removing the spent blossoms. if you don't, it will form a rose hip, which is a signal for the plant to go dorm mant. by trimming, we get the roses to bloom owl year long. >> as you can see, she is pruning the roses that are not alive anylonger. they suck the nutrients away from the

the greens are planning to run on a campaign of higher taxes. how in the world is that going to work and help them win in germany? >> maybe this is one of the few countries where you could win an election with a program like that. the fact is that germans are a lot less averse to paying taxes than people in, say, the u.s. there is a very real commitment here to reducing debt not only in southern european countries but here at home as well. in fact, a majority of germans to support these proposals, particularly the proposal for a wealth tax, but the fact is, the taxes we are talking about, they are not punitive taxes like those favored by, say, the french government. and we are talking about a rise in the marginal tax rate. the fact is as well, there are important ringleaders who say we have to be careful that we do not penalize small and medium- sized businesses which are very much the backbone of the economy. >> the greens said today that a coalition is a no go. do you believe that? if so, what parties are left to push the government? >> let's

john: each green job cost $175,000 each per job? >> if you really want jobs, you can make an argument in a crisis to subsidize jobs in the short run. you can get many more jobs if you focused on infrastructure or hospitals or other things where you would create a lot of great benefits and more jobs. john: you dispute this using wind power to create the same amount as nuclear plants are you in need to cover the state of rhode island. >> wind turbines are much less efficient partly because they take up a lot of space. john: and they're more efficient than the solar. >> they only work about one fourth of the time. you have to build a lot of backup power. the fuel is free, so potentially we could get to a situation where we are beneficial. but we are not there yet. john: but we are spending like we are. >> a lot of people, global warming, we have to do something now. actually global warming, we have to find smart ways to make sure we can get everybody on board, not just rich, but we can find technology that will be so cheap the chinese

the representative from mixed greens has shown up and said there's something called a saigon sandwich, it doesn't appear on his men you -- menu but it is a sandwich, this wasn't filed in his objection he filed last week. we just looked at the menu on the website and we have to say, even if there is a saigon sandwich that's a seasonal sandwich as it was termed, that does not require denial of any food permit. different types of sandwiches and similar types of sandwiches can co-exist, the menu that we cited, exhibit e which we pulled off of their website at the end of march has no saigon sandwich on it. finally, the representative of the building seems to be complaining just generally about food trucks, not about this particular one and how it will harm this business. there are plenty of differences between food trucks and between a sit-down restaurant, but those differences do not mean that a food truck cannot be had in this location, this is a different kind of business model for different customers and we submitted some exhibits in our -- with our brief, that's exhibit m, and exhibit

the green economy is good for jobs. so it is a short-term program investing in it and creating jobs immediately. it's a long-term program because it's the only way that we can get to some level of ecological sanity to maintain and build a green economy and fight climate change. so another statistic along these lines, on this notion that you need military spending, spending on the military in terms of jobs creates about 11 jobs per 1 dollar of expenditure where as i said the green economy is 17. education actually is 27 jobs per $1 million of expenditure. so when they talk about that's, and you know -- talk about cuts, and you know what this deal, fiscal cliff sequester do, it's supposed to be half that of social spending in half of the military. but as we speak what they are really talking about our ways to not cut the military and to load all the cuts on the social spending. education will create relative to military again two and a half times more jobs. so when we talk about the job effect, we should say if there must

so we stay within the green. as you look at that heat map and i'm hoping the color on your slides comes out as it does on the screens here that we are able to see. but we stay completely within the dark to lighter green colors, staying with customers with a fairly high propensity to say with the program and still are able to meet the 20-30 mega watts of supply where we are proposing. i'm going to move on to the third question. that was to place the assessment concept and clean power concept and how those two work together and explain where the funding lies. so just as a quick refresher you will recall that our solar sf program, that's our program for providing incentives to san francisco properties to put solar on their roofs launched in 2008 as a 10-year pilot program and asked to fund it at $2-5 million each year. $20 million has been appropriated for the program and in the context of adopting the authorizing i should say the clean power sf program the board of supervisors created an additional $10 million to t
