it is providing an opportunity to look at what pg&e is already providing for its renewable compliance, which, i think there latest filing at utilities commission, said they were at 19.5% renewable. sell under their proposal, you could as a customer say please green-up the rest of my consumption, that 80.5% that is not covered yet. they are also proposing, as an alternative to allowing customers to choose blocks of kilowatt hours to be green, so a customer could choose to green- up just a portion of their kilowatt hour consumption. that way, pg&e argues in its application, they will have stability on what that potential cost commitment will be each month to have greening of their portfolio that is serving them. i thought it was interesting that in their testimony they also addressed the customer desire for a program like this. they talked about the survey work that we did with residential san francisco customers earlier, and most recently. pg&e lists the number of surveys that have been conducting, which tells them that their customers want a program offering like this. so i was not aw

yes, our recommendation is not to purchase the pg&e streetlights. one of the major reasons is because most of them are past their useful life. the second primary reason is as a result of their series loops -- they have 25 in the system that are 50 to 90 years old. they are failing, and the cost estimate on our part is approximately $42 million to replace those, and that is the full board replacement from underground conduit cabling, full boxes, falls, fixtures, you name it. so we would be buying that burden. in a nutshell, those are the two reasons. in terms of pg&e upgrading their system, we did just meet with them recently -- actually, just after i wrote this report. the gist of the conversation as they plan on upgrading those loops over the next five years, which was new information to us. so they have budgeted $25 million to do that with approximately five loops that represent 80% of the street lights on those lives this year. >> might that change the recommendation a year from now or whenever they are completed? >> no, because we would basically
