Thousand plus we show 34 percent is 59 percent higher and sfmta labor rates for the engineer is hundred and 33 thousand plus and again, the 35 percent should be 53. 8 percent to use it new york no sense we make a recommendation to ask the controller to look at the mtas direct and indirect labor rates and make the elements prior to 9 next issuance of the transportation bonds anticipated in may 2016 we believe that is good legislation we recommend all of the two resolutions be approved.

Sure we is have the office of Public Finance to address you on the body as well warmed up to the rates we have third Party Entities that develops our cost plan as development by the state
Covert path is in question and more challenging. And while the framework argument spells out an extensive and intrusive inspection regime over the entire supply chain for Irans Nuclear program, there still will be concerns that iran would cheat and break out toward a new bomb, toward a bomb. But given all the various restrictions and inspections that are in place throughout the supply chain, iran would have to cheat in more than one way and not get caught. So my question is, can you talk about all the ways that iran would have to cheat in order to get around the terms of the agreement and set up a secret Uranium Enrichment Program . Sure. Thats a big question. Can you answer it in the five remaining . Right. But i think youve already put your finger on it in the sense that the transparency and verification elements that will be put in place in an agreement first of all, are unmatched to those in any other situation. In terms of their comprehensiveness and intrusiveness. But specificall
Transformers are so important. Maybe explain that a little bit. But clearly there are approaches we could take as a federal entity to push further on where the grid needs to go. And you have done a good job in the report of combining the elements of different types of energy sources. Obviously, i dont think its called out so specifically in the report, but to me the biggest advent here is just the notion of distributed generation. The same kind of distributed generation that the internet brought us is bringing us distributed generation opportunities for energy which means, then, you know, again, it becomes a platform play. But what do you think are the schematics that we need to do . So how would you approach this next phase of working on grid modernization . Well, on the r d side that you mentioned, i mean you know, in broad strokes, i think the much more aggressive introduction and utilization of i. T. With the grid is absolutely critical. Just, again, as an anecdote last week when w
All our states are hit by the slew of proposed epa rules aimed squarely at the fossil fuel industry and folks that work in that industry. I would like to highlight a letter from the governor of wyoming to the epa administrator on april 28th i ask that letter be entered into the record, madam chairman. In this letter the governor highlights a study by the center for Energy Economics and Public Policy at university of wyoming entitled impact of the coal economy on wyoming published february of this year. I would ask that this study be entered into the record. Without objection. Thank you. The governor states about the study that it determined the single largest threat to wyomings coal industry is epas clean power rule. In fact, the study says that 111 d climate regulation has potential to drastically reduce wyoming coal production. Coal output under favorable circumstances decreases by 32 of the 2012 production by the year 2025. Study goes on to say even the best case of impact modeling
Been given one year, thats a very real problem. But there are real costs being expended by the states and also i believe this administration is not interested whether the rule is finalized so long as the marketplace moves away from them. If coal fired power plants have to be retired quicker than baseline, then theyre going to accomplish the goal, even if this regulation never is upheld in courts. Thank you i want to follow up on this. Ill wait until the second round. Senator markey. Thank you madam chair. I ask that two articles by jed ee freedman and Richard Lazarus be included they provide thorough analysis of that clean power rule. So ordered. Pope frances is about to issue on Climate Change. They named the jesuit who taught chemistry as the pope. Pope frances believes science is the answer to our prayers, we have to look at modest ways to look at this to reduce the danger that growing Greenhouse Gases will impose to gods creation of the planet. I think it is important for us to fin
