it would basically have the same impact as a power plant in terms of fossil fuel burning. you would not call it that, you would call it something different. instead, the district steam would. >> the motion has been made. is there a second? >> it fails for a lack of a second. is there any thing else in regards to power plants? >> i will move that we do what he did. that is a motion. >> the motion as a maid that the original language will be amended if it is included and removes fossil fuel references only to district heating and cooling systems. can we take that without objection? that passes. there's one final amendment regarding the additional standards with regard to to the project in of standards. will we take a roll-call vote on that? >> i can read for clarity what the languages which will be discussed. one slight caveat added, to the extent that final remedies have not already been selected, the board of supervisors shall conduct hearings regarding the potential final strategies for each project parcel at the shipyard before any final remedies are selected and urges th

the previous model. despite its bulk, it has better fuel economy. the sport utility is built on the same platform as the taurus sedan, making it about 20% more fuel efficient than this year's model, which was built on a truck platform. that, says company chairman bill ford, could make the explorer and his company standouts in the global auto industry. >> i think it's impossible to envision a scenario globally when fuel becomes cheaper and more plentiful. and so the bet we're placing is we want to be the fuel economy leader in every segment we participate in. >> you can see some very sculpted lines here and a very fast windshield. >> reporter: jim holland is the explorer's chief engineer. he says aerodynamics and lighter-weight materials help fuel economy. he also points out how new features, like a terrain management system, lets the vehicle drive almost anywhere. >> depending on what surface you're on-- it can be snow, mud or gravel, or sand-- you pick the setting, it takes care of everything else. >> reporter: ford has sold six million explorers si

the weather one thing is certain extreme temperatures are again fueling the debate on climate change. and you can. still. discuss what's happening to the weather i'm joined by mark linus and oxford he's an environmentalist and climate change author in new york we have alexander ox director of world watches institute climate and energy program and in los angeles we crossed a phelim mcaleer he's a journalist and documentary filmmaker and another member of our cross talk team in the hunt all right gentlemen crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want mark and i to go to you in oxford first what the hell is going on with the weather and i say that with a great deal of passion because moscow is baking this is russia it shouldn't be happening here at least that's what i always believed why are we having such high temperatures around the world in places which you would never expect it. well first up you've got to distinguish between weather and climate ok if we're going to look at whether we're experiencing climate change and global warming you need to bear that in

. >> we are very dry fuel. the slope that the fuel is on, and third is the wind. >> reporter: the hot dry weather also a major factor. the cause of the fire is still unknown. but investigators talking to workers near the area of where the fire was sparked say -- >> they were working on a tire rim to remove that rim and the bolts from that rim, that's where our investigation is focusing right now. >> reporter: a bit north from here in current county, more toward central california, firefighters have a handle on two smaller fires there that burned a number of homes. their help, the improved weather conditions. in palmdale california, adam housley. >>> even if those power lines go down, the power supply into los angeles will not be impacted. so, for more now on the conditions on those firefighters there in southern california, let's check in now with our chief meteorologist bill martin. we talked a little bit about the dry, hot conditions. >> reporter: if you've ever been to palmdale you me that area, it is -- you kno

the price is fixed for the term of the agreement including overhead and delivery of fuel costs. we concur with the budget analyst recommendation. if you have any questions, i am here. chairperson avalos: mr. rose, share with us your report, please. >> the only thing i would add is i do want to call to your attention on page 5 of our report that this "not to exceed amount" increase includes a contingency, but i think the contingency is well explained. i do recommend approval of this resolution. as you know, this contract was competitively bid last year and includes four options. this is the first option. chairperson avalos: very good. if there are no questions or comments, we will have public comment. public comment is open for item one. seeing none, i will close public comment. a motion to approve from supervisor mirkarimi, seconded by supervisor elsbernd. moved to the board with a recommendation for approval. madam clerk, if you could please call -- we are waiting for supervisor campos for item 2, so let us go to item three, please. >> item 3, resolution authorizing the director

you can harvest the charge for fuel. one example of the use of this fuel is cemented. here i have a picture of the rialto. a private developer conversion of vayo solid to energy. -- vayo -- and i think they just finished the selection process, the rfq process, and they are working on an rfp for fun of production. another example of the technology we are looking at, alternative the equipment. we are interested in looking at alternatives that can give us better performance, lower energy means lower maintenance requirements. the driver for considering our alternative is our interest in moving away from chlorine disinfection. not only does it give us environmental benefits that can reduce the production of chlorinated byproducts, also in the past, we have seen large fluctuations of the chemical cost. so that gives us an economic incentive to look at alternatives. we are now considering technology for this. we look at technology 15 years ago but the technology at the time was not economically feasible. we had to build the a large facility with tens of thousands of uv lamps,

the technique lets energy companies extract the fuel from shale rock which, until recently, was hard to get. shale lies beneath much of the u.s., including michigan, and experts think the rock could contain a 200-year supply of fuel. kimberly dubord follows the energy markets for briefing.com. she thinks these new reserves could play a vital role in our energy future. >> shale gas could provide almost a production buffer for alternative and renewable energy to give it time to become an economically feasible alternative to conventional sources. michigan's latest natural gas boom started just this past winter. calgary-based encana corporation drilled a successful test well about 50 miles north of here, that one well triggered a frenzy to lease mineral rights the likes of which the state of michigan has never before seen. >> reporter: this is a list of bidders who paid millions of dollars at auction last spring to lease mineral rights on roughly 100,000 acres of public land in northern michigan. sid jansma, president and ceo of wolverine gas and oil, was among the buyers. he didn't want

. >> that's on the price side. but jet fuel is the biggest expense for many of these airlines. hen we take a look at how a lot of airlines deal with jet fuel in the second quarter there was a wide despairity in terms of jet fuel. united saw an 80% increase, and delta just 8%. what's the difference? >> the uncertainties of the derivatives market and so forth. with the still weak economy, fuel prices should somewhat behave as they go into the recovery. which are best poised to manage these costs? >> southwest has been a champion in that area simply because of the stronger balance sheet. >> i want to talk about merger activity. major carriers have gone from six to four with dealt delta and northwest, and pending continental united deal. which carriers are ripe for acquisition? >> the u.s. would be well served for the consumer with three major hub and spoke carriers, plus a couple of low cost carriers like southwest and jet blue. tai. it would eliminate the competition and airlines could make a steady profit. >> you would to name any names that could be on the sale wlok? >> most of

it's manufacturing the fuel- efficient cars and trucks that will carry us to an energy independent future. you are proving the naysayers wrong, all of you. >> susie: next month, g.m. is expected to file for a new initial public offering of stock, a little more than a year after it emerged from bankruptcy. >> tom: late today, the house of representatives voted to end the federal moratorium on deepwater drilling as long as oil companies meet new safety requirements. the move is an amendment to a broader energy bill working its way through the house. the six-month moratorium was put in place after the b.p. oil disaster. it is set to expire in november and bans exploratory drilling in waters more than 500 feet deep. >> tom: b.p.'s incoming c.e.o. is getting some help in the gulf. robert dudley today announced the hiring of former fema director james lee witt. witt will oversee cleanup of the company's macondo well disaster and long-term restoration efforts in the gulf of mexico. separately, with oil no longer spilling out of the well, b.p. said it will pull back some cleanup crews from the ar

and find a way to supply the tirana reactor with fuel she would you. because we viewed this as an opportunity to create an atmosphere of trust that would then help us resolve the main problem iran's nuclear program. or. that cuban leader fidel castro coming to done the situation a few days ago so it was that that's quite a rare occasion as he hasn't spoken to the public for quite a long time anyway he said washington's policy with respect to iran may escalate tensions in the region and eventually result in an armed conflict and he said he wouldn't rule out such a possibility quaestors political weight and the fact that he used one of his rare appearances in public to speak on this subject even though iran is quite far from cuba all these calls many people to think seriously this situation will do you make of this i'm sure you're full of the situation because you have to report to moscow so how serious is the danger do you think castro is right or easy exaggerating the cancer wasn't talking about the threat that iran poses to other nations and he was tal

remember, the fuel of the new american dream saving is in, consumption is out,d that is the problem someay. >> question, asians are the world's biggest savers. are americans going to replace asians as the world's biggest savers? >> not quite. a lot of americans are saving because the job situation is still so shaky, either they are unemployed or their job is on the line and so they are putting a lot of money into a nest egg, or as much as they can as a work against future upset in the economy. and in many ways, it is like the great depression generation. that generation saved everything. they saved water bottles, are s that, but when the economy comes back. >> you realize the chinese are saving 10% of their income. >> john can remember the great depression and tell you how they were saving those water bottles. >> i remember roosevelt, which kind of is socialism. still around today. >> i bet you were a ccc boy also. >> that helped us sustain the economy. >> americans save probably now, it used to be 0. we probably save 5%. the chinese are up to 35 to 50 percent. it's mandatory savings and

these should not be with the interagency agreement. fossil fuelsheating and cooling systems would effectively bar electric and gas heat the way people get it in most homes in san francisco. if that were amended to delete the two references in that amendment to the heating and cooling systems but retained a prohibition against power plants, we would be comfortable with that amendment. in terms of items that we are recommending against approval that, both of the amendments regarding studies for the day lighting of the watershed and air quality, we don't have a problem with either of these issues as a matter of public policy but we did discuss this quite a bit with other departments and the city attorney's office. we don't think that they fit in the project's findings. we believe that these would be better addressed an entirely separate resolutions so they would not cause any solution with the findings themselves. >> there's nothing stopping this board from introducing resolutions related to having additional studies. i think the point that is being m

hundred of the firefighters have been worked all night to put out the wind-fueled fire, saying dozens of home are still threatened. >>> at least 56 people have been killed after two trains collided in eastern india. the crash destroyed two passenger cars and a luggage car turning them into a tangle of twisted metal. officials have raised the possibility of sabotage. >>> secretary of state hillary clinton is on a mission in pakistan this morning. >> she's try to shore up suppore for the afghan war tomorrow ahead of the summit on the future. nick schifrin is joining us from kabul with details. >> reporter: good morning. that's right, hillary clinton i. what she's doing is unveiling $i $500 million in development projects. the hope is if the u.s. can win points with the pakistani people and the pakistani military and the pakistani government can go after militants in afghanistan. it's those militants who have made afghanistan more violent ever ever, increasing security fears. >> reporter: in the afghan capital, police are gearing for a fight. hillary clinton an and her counterparts from

these will be fairly big companies possibly banks partially our companies from the fuel and energy sector privatization will be a means not only of the track to many into the budget which is very important but it's also wave influencing the structure of the economy currently the government has an excessive growth in some of the sectors where the government share is quite big we interested encouraging more competition in the private sector. and the russian government has reduced the number of candidates and what is set to be the biggest privatization in the country in fifteen years cutting the state railways operator and mortgage agency from the list eleven companies are being prepared for sell with the aim of raising at least thirty two billion dollars to help plug the budget deficit xenos of nevada reports. if you want some of the russia's blue chips well general snifter say the largest banks bear bank now is the time the government is considering selling minority to stakes in eleven of russia's leading companies some call it the biggest privatization since the ninety's but it's not yet

the radioactive fuel for its nuclear power stations. but an atom bomb as if. iran is not allowing the international monitors into the country. the un security council to impose sanctions against iran russia has long been trying to build bridges between iran and the west but. those bridges. the russian ambassador to iraq. is not. a given thank you for coming. we're going to talk about iran's nuclear program today. probably the main problem here is. whether there are nuclear weapons in iran. would you say this that iran's nuclear program is a real threat for anyone. to go with the new bill and. indeed this has been an issue for several years solar array to just get there live and we don't have a definite answer to this question at this point we should. of course we can say for sure that iran has a bomb or he's ready to make it here. and we can only base our judgment on the information and data gathered by the international atomic energy agency here my theory ali good resolutions did the i.a.e.a. board of governors the dogs after carefully examining the situation

which these will be fairly big companies possibly banks partially our companies from the fuel and energy tractor privatization will be means not to need to attract many into the budget which is very important but it's also wave influencing the structure of the economy currently the government has an excessive growth in some of the saxes where the government share is quite big we interested encouraging more competition in the private sector. smaller companies may prove attractive to individual investors but some analysts believe the government will have to work hard to calm their fears of renationalisation. in some sense it doesn't come across as a true privatization it's only partial however government has indicated that there are over five thousand companies that they are willing to sell now most of these companies own much smaller oh they're not of strategic importance or limited strategic importance and i believe in most of these cases the fleet will be full privatized renationalisation fear is probably one of the big east obstacles for foreign investors into venturing russia there is

red is the old fuel plants. every one of those is being taken out. -- red is the old fuel lines. we get hundreds of thousands of cubic yards of things we would not be entitled to other than that they made that decision. the second thing is every time they pull out one of the lines, they test the bottom. they do split samples. they take the dirt and send it to two different labs to confirm the conclusion. the radiological contamination and has been and will be addressed at the shipyard has been a quite a low level. it is getting an incredibly thorough remediation. when we did the conveyance agreement in 2004 and 2005 -- there have historically been anxieties about it. you do not think about how much radiation your body or a tv produces. maybe even a cup of coffee produces it. we ask epa to come out and do a scanne to deal with the the isse of adjacency risk. is it safe for the artists and police department to be there? epa did a complete scan of service levels of radiation on the hunters yard -- hunter's point shipyard. they found no risk. we ask them to do it periodically on a reg
