Has said the talks will continue until wednesday but no further you can say whether or not that is the final deadline for these trade and security in negotiations and deep both sides have said they will keep talking up until the final minutes indeed coming out of downing street in the u. K. Today they say theyll talk as long as it takes so long as we think that it deal is to be done and they have admitted though that these talks really are going down to the wire and of course just to give you a sense of that british newspapers today one saying history has its eye on wrecks it say remains to be seen of course whether or not that deal can be done in the coming days but the public here among those that weve spoken to there is a sense of fatigue now as these negotiations drag on and on theyve been going on and in one form or another for years now take a listen to what people on the streets of had to say. Im not worried about it because we need to get something so detailed. We need to make
Livingstone, Deputy Director in our Global Energy center where i need to work on climate and advanced energy. Thank you very much for joining us here today. Its a terrific to see a full room, particularly amid the dark days of august when so many folks in dc leave for cooler or at the very least, less humid climates. It is surely a traffic registration of interest in this topic and before we get started let me give a big thanks to zach strauss and are Global Energy and art interns who are instruments and making today happen along with our talented medications and events team. They are truly a testament to the assets and professionalism of the Atlantic Council. Dive in to todays discussion by noting that not only are you here because youre fascinated by the narrative that surround the climate challenge in the Energy Transition but you are likely also very interested in the narrators that help us to understand the complexities, ambiguities, leading characters in the emerging solutions at
Before going through the amendments, i want to thanks my cosponsor, supervisor ronen and the advocates for sending and continuing to send hundreds of letters of support. I want to thank neighbor emerging association, parent voices and Richmond Senior center. And dozens of other people that came and testified in support of this legislation two weeks ago. And truly thankful and humbled by their commitment to fight to protect public space. I also want to thank the city attorneys office, namely andrew sims and my staff, erica mayborn and jen to actually craft some of the amendments that we will be introducing today. I probably should go for the amendments before Public Comments. And i think you have a copy of the summary of amendments. But i will Read Everything into the record. I will just summarize. It provides a streamlining process that strengthens the frameworks so the department of public works can have flexibility to enforce as we learn more about the new technology. The permitting
Public my name is fran taylor. Im cochair and retired member of the Typographical Union which i mention. I want to remind you that the people will be attacking are also workers. I support the original total ban. I have long suggested folk who is lack a home should get a tent in the shape of a car and no one would blame them for blocking the sidewalk. I have never heard an elected official complain when a car forces a pedestrian to walk in the street. We can never get by. Nobody cared. Similarly, if you are tired with nowhere to go but the sidewalk, officials aiming for Higher Office have an answer for you. Let machines run amuck in the same space and watch those same officials fawn over them. New technology, innovation. My second suggestion is the tired humans should dress themselves as robots if they want to be left alone. What does this say about San Francisco . If you are a human in public space, you are swept away, ticketed or even in the case of luis pat, shot to death by police.
Can i alert my colleagues that are here to introduce individuals normally we would turn to you and let you do that. But this meeting is has some more controversy than most hearings have so this is the way were going to handle it. Im going to make an Opening Statement, a little longer than usual. Senator feinstein will make a statement thats longer than usual. Then because of the two states that are involved, and for different reasons, but coming to the same conclusion, normally we dont have members speak, but i felt i ought to give the courtesy to both senator kennedy and senator said he wanted to speak about the controversy and his nominee. Then im going to turn to senator franken and senator franken will have up to five minutes s that okay . Youre going to introduce people, but i would like to get the controversial statements out of the way first. That makes sense. Okay. Congratulations to all the nominees and to your families and everybodys welcome at the committee. Two weeks ago, i
