clean power sf, though, and i think in terms of environmental impact it may be relatively small, but i think we have to move with different innovative projects like this and others in our city. we also need to continue to work with the public utilities commission to honor the super majority of this board to move forward with clean power sf while still exploring other important projects like this as well, but i'm proud to be a co-sponsor of this. >> colleague, any further discussion? >> president chiu, just real quick again. thank you for reminding me to thank mr. chin from the department of the environment. he's played an integral role. also make sure i don't forget nadia from our office of public finance and her entire team as well. >> okay, colleagues, unless there is additional discussion, can we take this item same house same call? without objection this resolution is adopted.

renewable electricity is the single biggest step the city can take to reduce gas emissions and the administration has voted against implementing our clean power sf program, i'm concerned we are moving back ward as a city when it's clear we should be moved forward on a clear climate action strategy. i hear a lot of lip service given that we're doing everything we can to improve the prospects for future generations for climate change. people talk about justice for planet earth, but i think it's as long as it's business first. i don't think that's the right approach. we're considered to be leading the effort around climate change, but i think that's a very dubious thought. as we heard from the mayor very dubious arguments about why he did not support the clean power sf program and why the utility commission has worked to put that program on halt. we're trying to get that back on track. this administration also did not -- had a seat that was vacant for two years on the bay area air quality management district. two years a vacant seat. clearly this administration has not been working on climate action and now we have a delay on the climate action str
