Standard. Weve got to get and we do, we have a law in california encouraging storage because we cant just rely on the sunlight. applause weve got to bottle the sunlight. Youve probably heard about that. Were bottling sunlight. Well, that a metaphor for storage. But we can get it done. You know, in a time of war when the invading army comes, people rise to the occasion. But when the invasion is more subtle and more gradual, then what . Then it takes clarity, it takes courage, and it takes will, a lot of political will, a lot of personal will. And thats what i would urge upon all of you. Youve got your businesses or your academic work. All of it has to flow into this transformation because Climate Change is happening. Its affecting the food supply. We have the number of people going up, the number of oilfed cars going up, but we have Food Production now lagging behind. And, so, were going to have to slow Climate Change while we take care of all these other economic challenges. And its ve
Major, major problem after earthquakes actually. It is. Thats one of the big things. A lot of things falling over, ceilings collapsing. But all of this can be prevented by an expert coming in and assessing where those problem areas and often the fixes are really, really cheap. Who do you call when you want to have that kind of assessment or evaluation done . The Structural Engineering community is great. We have the Structural Engineers association of Northern California right here in San Francisco. Theyre a wealth of information and resources. What kinds of things might you encourage tenants to do besides simply get tenants renters insurance and earthquake insurance, what else do you think tenants should do . I think its really important to know if they happen to be in the building where is the safest place for them to go when the shaking starts. If theyre out of the building, whats their continuity plan for connecting with family . They should give their Emergency Contact information
Several billion more. We know if the demographers are right, the world will add 2 billion people. We now have 2 billion cars. The last time there were a couple hundred million cars. In fact, cars are reproducing faster than people. [laughter] and as long as theyre using oil weve got a problem. Thats why in california we have a goal to have a million electric vehicles by 2025. applause so, thats just within the last two months, we actually recorded over 2000 megawatts of solar energy being put into the grid, which is more than [speaker not understood] provided. applause of course, the solar works for six hours or so and Nuclear Works for, you know, four times as long. However, it leaves a little bit of a tail afterwards that has to be dealt with. So, but its an important milestone. And california does have the goal of 33 Renewable Energy. We have the goal of a million solar rooftops. We already have over 130,000 installations on homes and small businesses. So, were looking at utility, s
To california. Its a great place to come and talk about solar energy because we are in the forefront of certainly the rest of the states, probably in fact, certainly in the western hemisphere, california is in the lead. And thats important. But being in the lead doesnt mean weve arrived at the goal. Got a long way to go and i hope the work you do here, the conversations, the relationships that are formed can help advance the cause of solar energy and Renewable Energy or generally. Back when i was governor the first time, that was a long time ago some of you folks werent even born then not too many. I see a few gray hairs here who are hanging around. That was a long time ago, 38 years ago, as a matter of fact. Very few people get to be governor 38 years after they first started. [laughter] with a 28year hiatus. applause so, i guess i have to expiate my Many Political sins and i spent time in the wilderness. But i am back and i can reflect on how politics work, how it worked then, whats
