mr. eric brooks, he says the poll assumed higher rates for customers in all questions. the customers were not asked what the response to the program would be if it had electricity rates that were the same or lower than their pg&e rates. >> i can respond to that. we do not believe the program exists like that. there is no program that can buy wind and solar at the same price as brown power. if you are going to buy solar and 20 cents, you cannot sell it at 8 cents. it does not exist. >> therefore, that question is irrelevant. >> you cannot ask the question. you cannot provide the service. >> i am very disappointed by these results. it shows we have to do more education as a supporter of this approach. i do not know what other alternatives we need to pursue to make sure the people understand this is in their best interest. do you have any ideas? >> of course we have to do more marketing and education. with the people already with us, this would be the largest program in california by far on day one. marin county has about 9000 people. it may grow to 50,000. we're assuming

mr. brooks? >> eric brooks, representing san francisco green party and our city.last week's planning commission hearing, we reiterated our strong opposition to this project and that the eir should be recirculated. we were joined by the sierra club and others in that same call for the eir to be recirculated. the reason for this is not only the past things i have seen -- i have said about c level dangers, but the main reason now is the massive financial and governments changes in this project. these changes have happened all within the last month. the have caused staff to completely rewrite this whole thing in the last month, notwithstanding the claim that the product is not changing. the fact that they are going to have 20% less financing and do not know whether they can get that number back up from the state not only affects local hiring, not only affects affordable housing, but you heard them say today that the future preparation for sea level rise depends on future financing. if we are going to start this project with 25% less financing and no guarantee it is go

mr. brooks. >> good afternoon, commissioners. eric brooks representing san francisco green party and the local grass-roots organization of our city. i would strongly urge you to continue this item. even though there have been years of planning on this, even though there has been a lot of hearings on it, there's been a recent development within the last month that completely changes the game on this issue. you've received some communications about sea level rise and tsunami dangers. keep in mind that tsunamis 10 feet and above are not accounted for in this project plan, and that could happen from alaska. also, the new estimates of worst-case sea level rise are 78 inches, not 55. the bcdc is relying on more conservative data from a couple of years ago from the ipcc. the scientist that is have come up with the new 78-inch figure are ipc scientists. so the most recent date is not being included and the 7 -inch figure is -- the 78-inch figure is nowhere in the response. the thing that's changed is because redevelopment was threatened by th
