All right. This hearing will come to order, without objection the chair is authorized to declare recess at any time. Good afternoon, welcome to todays hearing. The future of electricity delivery, modernizing and securing our nations electricity grid. I want to thank all of our witnesses for joining us here today. This is such an important topic. Im a young guy as you can tell but i have read history about what it was like when we first started building the electric grid over a century ago now. I dont think we could have imagined the technologies that we would use to power or homes and businesses and hospitals and everything today. And i think the challenge is different, you know, back then the real challenge was just extending power itself throughout every corner of our society, and there was a challenge which was that those providing power knew they could make money in the cities in well Populated Areas in places with a lot of business and commercial opportunities, but it was not as p
The camera lens there. Thats whats making the view looking the way it is. Youre not seeing a lot on radar currently at this point. Its mostly missed. Just a couple of drops and some wet spots on the roads. Definitely more activity further north in the region. Current temperatures are actually fairly mild. Haywards at 67 redwood city at 62, oakland and San Francisco sitting at 63 to get the morning started later on today. Showers really clearing out quick. In fact, weve got a lot of sunshine for your tuesday. Daytime highs will be in the 70s to low 80s, right . All right, john, thank you for that. Accident on the bay bridge, unfortunately. Right near the Treasure Island exits, the drive times have gone up. 17 minutes there. So youre slick and youve got that accident out there able to clearly cook that off the bridge as the morning goes on. But no accidents on our other bridges. 12 minute ride. San mateo bridge remember still pretty slick out there. 7 minutes, Richmond Center fell bridge
Good morning, john. Yeah, the rainfall settling down now and were going to see a quick transition the next few hours. But for those of you waking up, the roadways are definitely wet out there. So maybe give yourself a few extra minutes to get on the roads and taking a little slower or because take a walk out there. Love the fresh smell after rain like last night. What weve got right now, san jose, youre drying things back out. Not as wet for you in the south bay as areas further north in the bay area where were sitting right now. Not a lot being detected on radar. Thats for sure. You can see those couple little breezy green blips out there. Thats just evidence of some of that lingering mist drizzle. We saw showers last night. The radar was definitely more active an hour ago into our north right now. Thats where were still seeing some rainfall hanging on in the northern sierra as well as up into the north coast. Current temperatures are mostly in the low to mid 60s hayward at 66 San Fra
Im james fletcher. Were looking live outside behind us right now at a very gray kind of a chilly, windy, wet. Start to this, too. Yeah, it was different than the smell because yes, smells wet. Now even if its not raining in your neighborhood, you know, you can. It says that humidity like fall. Good morning, dsfinitely smells like fall. Looks like fall. Just feels like fall out there. Really nice morning to be stepping outside. You will smell that rain that fell this morning and like daria said, its pretty much stopped now. But you still got the wet roads and the look of it for sure. Your view outside of the east bay hills, some of that lingering cloud cover still hanging out with us. Its starting to part, though, and were getting some bright spots and that is an indication of actually quite the warm and Sunny Afternoon ahead of us. So if you like that cool feel right now is a good chance to savor it before we do clear things out. Oakland, dublin hayward at 64 currently petaluma and San
