CURRENTLY STRIKING WITH THE UC
STUDENT WORKERS UNION. YOU A W.
TWO EIGHT SIX FIVE FOR FAIR
WAGES AND BENEFITS. WHAT THE
RESEARCH WOULD STRESS THAT
LEGISLATORS UNDERSTAND THIS
TOPIC THIS HEARING THE CANNOT BE
WITH US TODAY FOR GOOD REASONS.
AND WE SENT A SOLIDER WITH THOSE
ACADEMIC MY SECURE FIGHT. THEIR
OWN FIGHT TODAY. A TEACHER IN A
MISIDENTIFIED THE PROGRESS
CALIFORNIA HAS BEEN MAKING AND
PROMOTING HI ROAD CLEAN ENERGY.
JOBS AS IT TRANSITIONS ENERGY
GRID TO BE 1100% RENEWABLE BY
TWENTY FORTY FIVE. TWENTY TWENTY
REPORT COMMISSIONED BY THE UC-
WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT BOARD
AUTHORED BY CAROL'S EVEN. IN
OTHER TO THE UC BERKELEY CENTER
FOR LEGAL RESEARCH LABOR
RESEARCH AND EDUCATION. OUTLINED
A COMPREHENSIVE JOBS IN CLIMATE
ACTION PLAN FOR CALIFORNIA'S
WORKFORCE. THE QUEEN THIS PLAN
THE HIGH ROAD APPROACH. WORK IN
THE ENERGY SECTOR IS A MAJOR
CONSIDERATION AS WE AIM TO
DECREASE THE 20% EMISSIONS. THAT
RESULT FROM ELECTRICITY SECTOR.
AND THE OVER 60% OF EMISSIONS
RESULTING FROM ENERGY FUEL USED
IN TRANSPORTATION. INDUSTRIES
HOMES AND MORE SECTORS. SO THIS
THIS HERE IS RAISING A NEW ISSUE
BUT IT'S REALLY I THINK A
CENTRAL ISSUE OF OUR TIME.
TRANSFORMING OUR- ENERGY SYSTEM
IS REALLY TRANSFORMING OUR
ENTIRE ECONOMY. WHEN YOU LOOK AT
ALL THE ASPECTS OF
TRANSPORTATION TO BUILDINGS TO.
RESIDENTIAL TO BUILDING
MATERIALS TO AGRICULTURE. THE
FIGHT FOR CLIMATE REALLY IS
TRANSFORMING OUR ECONOMY AN-
ESSENTIAL PART OF THAT IS. HOW
CAN WE DO THAT AND MAINTAIN A
GOOD JOBS AND CREATE HOPEFULLY
EVEN BETTER JOBS. THAT WE TALKED
TO MANY- FRIENDS IN LABOR SAY-
YOU KNOW IT JUST TRANSITION WE
JUST WANT GOOD JOBS WHERE WE CAN
RAISE A FAMILY- AND AFFORD TO
LIVE IN IN OUR HIGH COST A STATE
. IT IS REALLY ONE OF THE
CENTRAL ISSUES FOR TIME. CAN WE
- MAINTAIN GOOD JOBS CREATE EVEN
BETTER JOBS. AS WE GO INTO THIS
CLEAN ENERGY FUTURE AND THE
TRANSITION IS HAPPENING WILL
WILL YOU KNOW WE'LL FIGURE OUT
EXACTLY WHAT TIME FRAME IS
HAPPENING BUT- IT IS HAPPENING
SO WE HAVE TO FIGURE THIS
QUESTION OUT SO. GLAD FOR
EVERYONE WHO CAN BE WITH US
TODAY- THE EXPERTS ON THE GROUND
INDIVIDUALS GOT FOR THIS HEARING
TODAY WORK CONTINUOUSLY
EXHAUSTIVELY ON THE DEVELOPMENT
AND CREATION OF. THESE KINDS OF
JOBS THEIR INSIGHTS WILL PROVIDE
THE MOST UPDATED INFORMATION
ABOUT THE STATE OF WORK IN THE
CLEAN ENERGY TRANSITION. AS IS
MANIFESTED UP TO NOVEMBER TWENTY
TWENTY TWO. THE PURPOSE THIS
GATHERING TO TRACK IF AND HOW
CALIFORNIA HAS MADE IT TOO MANY
PROGRESS ON TRANSITIONING AND
DEVELOPING HIGH QUALITY.
EQUITABLE CLEAN ENERGY JOBS AND
WHERE HASN'T AS A LEGISLATURE
ENTERS A NEW SESSION BY
ACCESSING. IMMEDIATE PROGRESS TO
CALCULATE SUCH BE BETTER
INFORMED ON ONE OF THE BEST
PRACTICE EXAMPLES FOR PROMOTING
HIGH QUALITY JOBS WE'RE PROGRESS
STILL NEEDS TO MADE AND WHAT
MODELS OF WORK ARE THE BEST TO
BUILD UPON. SO WITH THAT LET'S
HEAR FROM OUR FIRST PANEL OF
PRESENTERS WERE VERY HONORED TO.
START OUT WITH CAROL C. BEEN THE
SENIOR ADVISER. FOR THE CLEAN
ENERGY PROGRAM AT THE BERKELEY
CENTER FOR LABOR. RESEARCH AND
EDUCATION MY FORMER COLLEAGUE ON
THE CALIFORNIA WORKFORCE
DEVELOPMENT BOARD AND THE AUTHOR
OF THE HIGH ROAD. APPROACH THEN
WE'LL FINISH WE'LL HEAR FROM
BETTY JONES THE DIRECTOR OF. THE
OFFICE OF ENERGY. A JOBS IN THE
UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF
ENERGY. CAROL PLEASE GO AHEAD.
THANK YOU SO MUCH SENATOR BAKER
CAN PEOPLE HEAR ME. YES OKAY
THANKS- IT'S AN HONOR TO BE. AT
THIS COMMITTEE AND- SO THANK YOU
SO MUCH FOR THE INVITATION I AM
STEPPING IN FOR. THE TWO NEW CO
DIRECTORS OF OUR PROGRAM. THE
GREEN ECONOMY PROGRAM AT THE
LABOR CENTER WHO ARE ON STRIKE I
AM NOT CROSSING A PICKET LINE.
TO DO THIS- SO. JUST TO TINY BIT
OF CONTEXT A REMINDER OF WHAT
HIGH ROAD MEANS IN THE CLIMATE
CON. CONTEXT IT'S REALLY ABOUT
CREATING A BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
THAT FAVORS BUSINESSES THAT CAN
INNOVATE AND REALLY. ADOPTED NEW
TECHNOLOGIES TO ZERO OUT OR
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS AND DO
THAT IN A WAY THAT INVESTS IN.
OUR WORK FORCE AND FAIRLY
COMPENSATES WORKERS- MOST OF
THESE WORKERS ARE BLUE COLLAR
WORKERS WE HAVE TO REMEMBER
THAT. AS WE GO FORWARD AND SO
THE OUTCOMES OF HYDRO
DEVELOPMENT OR QUALITY JOBS
PATHWAYS INTO THESE JOBS FOR
FOLKS WHO'VE BEEN EXCLUDED FROM
GOOD JOBS. AND I WOULD ALSO
INCLUDE HERE PROTECTIONS FOR
WORKERS IN DECLINING INDUSTRIES
SO AS NOT TO LEAVE WORKERS WHO
BUILT OUR CURRENT ECONOMY
BEHIND. AND THE KEY TO HIGH ROAD
IS REALLY THAT- IMPLEMENTING
LABOR STANDARDS WHETHER THEY BE
WAGE STANDARDS LIKE PREVAILING
WAGE OR SKILL STANDARDS LIKE THE
SKILLED AND TRAINED
APPRENTICESHIP STANDARD- OR THE-
ELECTRIC VEHICLE. TRAINING
PROGRAM CERTIFICATION OR
AGREEMENTS THAT EMBED THESE
KINDS OF STANDARDS- SUCH AS
DELAYS COMMUNITY BENEFITS
AGREEMENTS AND OTHER KINDS OF
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENTS
TRAINING. USED TO BE THOUGHT OF
AS THE MAIN SOLUTION TO GOOD
JOBS THAT REALLY IT'S NOT ABOUT
SO MUCH ABOUT TRAINING IT'S
ABOUT MAKING SURE THAT THE JOBS
ARE GOOD. AND WE CAN DO THIS
THROUGH FUNDING LEGISLATIVE
POLICY REGULATORY AND ACTIONS
LICENSING REQUIREMENTS THE
CONTRACTORS STATE LICENSING
BOARD ENDS UP BEING IMPORTANT
HERE- AND CONTRACT LANGUAGE
EMBEDDED IN REALLY AMIRI OUT OF
CLIMATE PROGRAMS AT THE FEDERAL
STATE AND LOCAL LEVELS SO
TRACKING THIS IS HARD AND I WAS
REALLY PLEASED TO SEE YOUR
REPORT BEGINNING TO. TRACK WHAT
WE'VE DONE IN TERMS OF
LEGISLATION BUT THERE'S A LOT
MORE AND I THINK THE PANELISTS
AND SAM IN PARTICULAR IS GONNA
IDENTIFY- SOME MORE OF THE
PROGRESS WE'VE MADE AT THE
LEGISLATIVE AND REGULATORY.
LEVEL SO SOME HE HE SUGGESTS.
KEY SUCCESSES- INCLUDING ONE YOU
MENTIONED IN YOUR REPORT IS
UTILITY SCALE RENEWABLES WHICH
HAVE. ALMOST ARE ALMOST ALL
BUILT UNDER PROJECT LABOR
AGREEMENTS AND BUILD UNION IN
CALIFORNIA- SOME. OTHERS I WOULD
MENTION ARE THE- HE V. I. T. AS
A SKILLED. FOR INSTALLATION OF
ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING
STATIONS WHICH SETS A BAR- SO
THAT I. B. AND NECA CONTRACTORS
CAN. CAN COMPETE IN THIS- AND IN
THIS BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT- THE
L. A. METRO TRANSIT AUTHORITY
THAT PROCURED. ELECTRIC BUSES
USING EIGHT AKA PROCUREMENT
CONTRACT LANGUAGE THAT REALLY
FAVORED THOSE- THOSE
MANUFACTURERS WHO. ARE WHO
SIGNED A COMMUNITY BENEFITS
AGREEMENT THOSE MANUFACTURING
FACILITIES ARE ALL NOW UNION AND
IN VESTED STENCILING AND
TRAINING AND HAVE CREATED
PATHWAYS FOR FOLKS WHO HAVE BEEN
EXCLUDED FROM GOOD JOBS IN THE
PAST. ON THE TRAINING FRONT YES
WE REALLY HAVE- BUILT AND
INVESTED IN- NEW PRE
APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM SO THAT
WE HAVE PATHWAYS INTO
APPRENTICESHIP THERE'S A- REALLY
THAT NOW THROUGHOUT THE STATE-
WE'VE MADE THOSE KINDS OF
INVESTMENTS PUTTING THE BUILDING
TRADES AT THE CENTER. SO THAT
PEOPLE IN THESE PROGRAMS
ACTUALLY SUCCESSFULLY GET INTO
STATE CERTIFIED APPRENTICESHIP
AND AS WELL AS- INCUMBENT WORKER
TRAINING THROUGH THE HIGH ROAD
TRAINING PROGRAM A PARTNERSHIP
PROGRAM H. R. T. P. THAT'S
INVESTED IN ALL KINDS OF THINGS
NOT JUST. IN THE GREEN AREA BUT
HEAVILY IN THE GREEN AREA DUE TO
FUNDING FROM THE- THAT THE CAP
AND TRADE REVENUE STREAM-
DISTRIBUTED GENERATION IS STILL
MORE AND EVEN IN TERMS OF GOOD
JOBS BUT I WOULD SAY THAT THE-
ONE IMPORTANT AN INNOVATION IS
THE- ANIMAL USE. THAT THE LABOR
AGENCY IS SIGNING WITH THE
ENERGY COMMISSION AND THE CPUC
TO HELP THEM ACTUALLY DESIGN THE
LABOR STANDARDS THAT ARE
APPROPRIATE FOR THEIR VARIOUS
PROGRAMS AND IT TURNS OUT THAT
STAFFING OF. THE FOLKS WHO ARE
WORK EITHER IN OR WITH THE
CLIMATE AGENCIES TO IDENTIFY THE
APPROPRIATE LABOR STANDARDS IS
REALLY KEY IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE
STAFF IT BECOMES. WORDS BUT NOT
ACTION- I'M FINALLY IN TERMS OF
THE QUOTE UNQUOTE JUST
TRANSITION OF SUPPORTING WORKERS
IN THE DECLINING. OF OIL AND GAS
INDUSTRIES WE DID PASS A FORTY
MILLION DOLLAR FUND. OF FOR THE
FIRST TIME HERE IN CALIFORNIA
THAT'S NOT ENOUGH BUT IT'S THE
BEGINNING AND IT HAS ALSO AT THE
LOCAL LEVEL AND BOTH. LA AND
CONTRA COSTA AND I THINK IN THE
BEGINNING AND END KERN COUNTY
THE THREE REGIONS REALLY
DEPENDENT ON OIL AND GAS WE'VE.
SEEN SOME ADVANCE PLANNING.
ALTHOUGH THERE'S NO STE PLAN TO
MOVE WORKERS AND TO COMPARABLE
JOBS- ON THAT NOTE I THINK THERE
IS A BIG OPPORTUNITY FOR
CREATING- REALLY GOOD JOBS AND
ALSO RE EMPLOYING SOME OIL AND
GAS WORKERS WITH SOME FEDERAL
FUNDS THAT- ARE COMING DOWN
THROUGH THE VARIOUS BILLS AND I
THINK THAT'S A PERFECT SEGUE.
FOR BRITNEY JONES FROM THE
DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY TO SPEAK SO
I'LL STOP THERE. I THANK YOU
VERY MUCH CAROL THAT WAS. REALLY
HELPFUL OVERVIEW AND- GET THE
SCRIPT ABOUT NAY. GREAT- THANK
YOU SENATOR BAKER IT'S REALLY
GREAT TO BE HERE I LOVE THE- THE
TOPIC- I LIVE IN CALIFORNIA BUT
I'M ACTUALLY WORKING IN DC RIGHT
NOW IS THE DIRECTOR FOR THE
OFFICE OF ENERGY JOBS AT THE U.
S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY. AND I
PUT TOGETHER A FEW SLIDES.
SHOWING BOTH SOME OF THE
INVESTMENTS IN CLEAN ENERGY FROM
THE BIPARTISAN INFRASTRUCTURE
LIVE AND THE INFLATION REDUCTION
ACTS WHAT WE- ARE NOW HEARING
CALL THIS UNCLES BILL AN IRA. AS
WELL AS SOME OF THE LABOR
STANDARDS THAT ARE BOTH IN THE
STATUTORY LANGUAGE AND THOSE
THAT WERE. ADOPTING THROUGH OUR
DISCRETIONARY AUTHORITIES. SO
LET ME GO AHEAD AND SHARE. MY
SLIDES.
HELLO SIR JUST DIVE RIGHT IN I
WANTED TO PROVIDE A LITTLE BIT
OF CONTACTS THE US DEPARTMENT OF
ENERGY RELEASES ANNUALLY THE U.
S. ENERGY EMPLOYMENT REPORT
WHICH IS A BIG SURVEY OF CLEAN
ENERGY AND ENERGY EMPLOYERS
ACROSS THE COUNTRY. AND ITS
PURPOSE SORT OF USEFUL BECAUSE
IT SHOWS YEAR OVER YEAR CHANGES
IN THE ENERGY LANDSCAPE- SO
HERE'S JUST A FEW FACTS FROM THE
REPORT THAT WE RELEASED LAST
YEAR. THERE'S- BECAUSE OF
GROWING ENERGY JOBS THE SECTOR
IS GROWING FASTER THAN THE U. S.
ECONOMY AS A WHOLE PART OF THAT
MUST MIGHT BE DUE TO A REBOUND
FROM THE- DEMOCRATIC- BUT WE'RE
WE'RE MATCHING THAT ABOUT 40% OF
ENERGY JOBS ARE IN. CLEAN ENERGY
OR NET ZERO EMISSION ALIGNED. AS
WHETHER THAT SCREEN VEHICLE
MANUFACTURING OR EVENTS NUCLEAR
OR THOSE TECHNOLOGIES THAT WE
THINK OF AS TRADITIONAL CLEAN
ENERGY LIKE WIND AND SOLAR- WHAT
WE WHAT WE KNOW IS THAT THE
ENERGY SECTOR IS MORE DENSELY
UNIONIZED IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR
AVERAGE SO. ACROSS THE ENERGY
SECTOR THERE'S ABOUT 10%
UNIONIZATION RATE COMPARED 26%
AND A PRIVATE- PRIVATE SECTOR
GENERALLY- BUT WE ALSO KNOW THAT
UNIONIZATION RATES AND CLEAN
ENERGY HAVE. ESPECIALLY IN
INDUSTRIES LIKE NUCLEAR WHERE
YOU HAVE 20% OR HIGHER
UNIONIZATION RATES BECAUSE IT
REQUIRES A HIGH LEVEL OF SKILLS
AND TRAINING. TO MAKE SURE THAT
THAT TECHNOLOGY IS DEPLOYED
SAFELY SO THIS CHALLENGE OF THE
CLEAN ENERGY TRANSITION SORT OF
LEADING TO AN EROSION OF JOB
QUALITY IS ONE OF THE THINGS
THAT WE'RE- TRYING TO ADDRESS.
MOST OF THE BUYING
ADMINISTRATION'S CLEAN ENERGY
GOALS JUST TO SUMMARIZE IS THAT
WE ACHIEVE A CARBON FREE GREETED
BY TWENTY THIRTY FIVE AND A
CARBON NEUTRAL ECONOMY BY TWENTY
FIFTY. HOW DO WE ACHIEVE THOSE
GOALS IN WAYS THAT TO THE
PRESIDENT'S GOALS AND PRIORITIES
CREATE INSISTING GOOD PAYING
UNION JOBS IN THE ENERGY
INDUSTRY AND RELATED INDUSTRIES
AND THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO TALK A
LITTLE BIT ABOUT. SO JUST TO
RECAP FOR THINK EVERYBODY HAS
HEARD OF THE BIPARTISAN
INFRASTRUCTURE LAW THE BILL AND
THE INFLATION REDUCTION ACT OF
CLARA- THE BIPARTISAN
INFRASTRUCTURE LAW FOR THE
DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY- HAS SIXTY
TWO BILLION DOLLARS SPREAD
ACROSS SEVENTY TWO DIFFERENT
PROGRAMS. SOME OF THEM FUNDING A
LARGE DEMONSTRATION PROJECTS
MOST OF THE FUNDING IS
COMPETITIVE- FOR THE
CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY DAVIS
BACON PREVAILING WAGES ARE
REQUIRED AND THEN IN ADDITION TO
THAT WE'RE SCORING COMPETITIVE
GRANT APPLICATIONS. BASED ON
APPLICANTS COMMITMENTS TO
CERTAIN POLICY PRIORITIES
INCLUDING JOB QUALITY THEN WE'RE
ALSO ASKING FOR REPORTING. I'M
I'M CERTAIN JOB QUALITY AND JOB
ACCESS METRICS. IN THE INFLATION
REDUCTION ACTS THERE'S ABOUT SIX
THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY THREE
HUNDRED SEVENTY BILLION DOLLARS.
THIS IS REALLY GAME CHANGING ITS
PROJECTED TO LEAD 240%
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSION
REDUCTIONS BY TWENTY THIRTY-
THIS THIS BILL PROVIDES A WIDE
RANGE OF INVESTMENTS AND TAX
CREDITS FOR CLEAN ENERGY
TECHNOLOGIES. AND FROM A LABOR
STANDARDS PERSPECTIVE THE TAX
CREDITS FOR MANY OF THESE-
PROVISIONS. ARE FIVE TIMES
HIGHER FIRST FOUR DEVELOPERS
THAT ARE PAYING PREVAILING WAGE
IN USING REGISTERED APPRENTICE
APPRENTICES ON THOSE.
CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS SO IF YOU
GET SIX CENTS A KILOWATT HOUR
FOR PERSONAL- PRODUCTION IF YOU. IF THAT'S BUILT WITH- WE'RE-
WITH WE UNDER WAGE IN WITH
REGISTERED APPRENTICES THAT
WOULD GO UP TO THIRTY CENTS. PER
KILOWATT HOUR SO ACROSS A RANGE
OF PROVISIONS THE INCENTIVES ARE
FIVE TIMES GREATER FOR-
DEVELOPERS AT IT HERE TO THESE
LABOR STANDARDS AND ACTUALLY
TODAY. ABOUT A HALF AN HOUR AGO
THE DEPARTMENT OF TREASURY
RELEASED ITS GUIDANCE ON THESE
LABOR STANDARDS- FOR THE BILL
INVESTMENTS THERE'S A WIDE RANGE
OF. PROJECTS NOT PROJECT TYPES
THAT ARE FUNDED- FOR
MANUFACTURING- WE HAVE OVER
SEVEN BILLION DOLLARS FOR THE
BATTERY SUPPLY CHAIN ADDITIONAL
ONE POINT FIVE MILLION BILLION.
FOR HYDROGEN MANUFACTURING.
OTHERS FUNDING FOR BUILDINGS SO
INCREASING THE WEATHERIZATION
PROGRAM BY THREE POINT FIVE
BILLION DOLLARS THIS DELIVERS
ENERGY SAVINGS FOR LOW INCOME
HOUSEHOLDS. OTHERS FIVE HUNDRED
MILLION FOR CLEANER SCHOOLS-
THIS IS. FOR THINGS LIKE ENERGY
EFFICIENCY. HEAT PUMPS THIS IS
DESIGNATED. FOR UNDERSERVED
SCHOOLS. THERE'S FUNDING SIX
BILLION FOR NUCLEAR. OTHERS
FUNDING FOR GRID RESILIENCE AND
TRANSMISSION EXPANSION AND THEN
THERE'S FUNDING ABOUT TWENTY ONE
BILLION FOR A LARGE
DEMONSTRATION PROJECTS THESE
INCLUDE EIGHT BILLION FOR
HYDROGEN HUBS MORE THAN TEN
BILLION FOR CARBON CAPTURE AN
INDUSTRIAL EMISSION REDUCTIONS.
FIVE MILLION PRONOUNCE NUCLEAR
PROJECTS- IN AN ADDITIONAL
FUNDING FOR PROJECTS IN RURAL
AND REMOTE AREAS OR ECONOMICALLY
HARD HIT COMMUNITIES. UP THE
INFLATION REDUCTION BACK TO IS A
BIT DIFFERENT THE FUNDING IS
DISTRIBUTED BETWEEN CONSUMER
SAVINGS INVESTMENTS AND
MANUFACTURING. HOW TO HELP
COMMUNITIES TRANSITION. AND THIS
IS REALLY AREN'T DESIGNED AROUND
INCENTIVES TO SPUR AND ENCOURAGE
MORE PRIVATE SECTOR INVESTMENT
WHERE IS THE BIPARTISAN
INFRASTRUCTURE A LOT. MORE FOCUS
ON THOSE LARGE PUBLIC
INVESTMENTS IN INFRASTRUCTURE SO
WHAT'S REALLY INTERESTING ABOUT
THE INFLATION REDUCTION ACT AND
WHY THE EXPERTS THINK THAT IT
WILL LEAD 240% EMISSION
REDUCTIONS IS THAT. IS THAT
SPURRING OF THE PRIVATE SECTOR
INVESTMENTS AND ALREADY WE'RE
SEEING WE'VE SEEN THAT THE
PRIVATE SECTORS ANNOUNCED MORE
THAN TWENTY EIGHT BILLION IN NEW
CLEAN ENERGY MANUFACTURING
INVESTMENTS SINCE I WROTE WAS
PASSED- I TRACK BATTERY
MANUFACTURING AND THERE'S BEEN
OVER A HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS.
OF PRIVATE SECTOR INVESTMENTS
ANNOUNCED FOR BATTERY
MANUFACTURING FACILITIES SO
INDEED- THIS BUSINESS WAS
ALREADY WORKING AS DESIGNED
THERE'S- IN ADDITION TO THAT THE
TAX CREDITS WHICH ARE RATHER
GAME CHANGING FOR THE CLEAN
ENERGY INDUSTRY. THERE'S FUNDING
FOR DIREXION INVESTMENTS IN
RETROFITTING FACILITIES- IN OUR
RETROFITTING AUTOMOTIVE
SENSIBILITIES TO PRODUCE
BATTERIES AND THAT KIND OF.
FUNDING IS REALLY DESIGNED
AROUND SORT OF A JUST TRANSITION
FRAMEWORK COUNTY WE INVEST IN
CLEAN ENERGY. UGH VISIBILITIES
IN PLACES THAT ARE SEEN OR WILL
SEE A LOSS OF THAT ACTIVITY DUE
TO THE ENERGY TRANSITION WITHOUT
THOSE WORKERS CAN STAY ON OF
FROM PRODUCING AUTOMOTIVE
AUTOMOBILES SAID THEN WORKING IN
THE BATTERY SUPPLY CHAIN AND
THAT YOU DON'T HAVE A HUGE.
ISSUE WITH WORKER DISPLACEMENT.
SO FUNDING IS REALLY IMPORTANT-
AND BECAUSE OF THIS HUGE PRIVATE
SECTOR LEVERAGE OF ITS IT'S
QUITE POSSIBLE THAT THE
INFLATION REDUCTION THAT COULD
STIMULATE NEARLY ONE BIT ONE
MILLION JOBS ANNUALLY. MOST OF
THESE SERVICES BUILT IN OUT
CARROLL TALKS ABOUT THIS A LOT
MOST OF THESE CLEAN ENERGY JOBS
DON'T REQUIRE FOUR YEAR DEGREES
THEIR APPRENTICE OF ALL
OCCUPATIONS ARE OCCUPATIONS THAT
YOU CAN TRAIN THROUGH SOME
COMBINATION OF ON THE JOB AND
CLASSROOM. EXPERIENCE AND SO
THEN THE CHALLENGE IS HOW DO WE
MAKE SURE THAT THOSE JOBS ARE
VIABLE PATHWAYS TO THE MIDDLE
CLASS AND SUPPORT WORKERS IN
THEIR CAREER DEVELOPMENT. NOW ON
THE CONSTRUCTION SIDE. BECAUSE
OF THE PREVAILING WAGE AND
APPRENTICESHIP STANDARDS THE
BILL TEN- THERE'S SOME
ASSURANCES OF THAT JOB QUALITY
AND WE KNOW THAT APPRENTICESHIP
PROGRAMS INCREASE INCOMES WERE
BOTH MEN AND WOMEN BUT
SIGNIFICANTLY MORE FOR WOMEN
DIRECTLY COMBATING THAT
OCCUPATIONAL SEGREGATION. THAT
WE SEE ACROSS THE ENERGY
INDUSTRY AND BEYOND- IN SO THOSE
INCENTIVES FOR THESE STRONGER
LABOR STANDARDS GOOD JOBS IN THE
CONSTRUCTION SITE ADDRESSES THAT
THERE'S NOT AN EQUIVALENT FOR
THE MANUFACTURING JOBS. THAT'S
WHAT WE'RE THAT'S WERE REALLY
LOOKING OTHER TOOLS IN OUR
TOOLBOX TO HELP IMPROVE JOB
QUALITY- IN THE INDUSTRIAL
SECTOR- IN THIS IS WHERE OUR
DISCRETIONARY AUTHORITY COMES
IN. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE
ASKING FOR. IN OTHER COMPETITIVE
GRANT PROPOSALS IS THAT FUNDING-
PROJECT PROPONENTS DEVELOPER
COMMUNITY BENEFITS PLAN AND THIS
PLAN HAS FOUR PARTS IT'S
VOLUNTARY. BUT IT SCORED AND
IT'S FACTORED INTO THEIR-
COMPETITIVENESS FOR THE FUNDING
US OF THE FOUR PARTS ORDERED AS
FOLLOWS ONE IS IT WHAT ARE THEY
COMMITMENTS TO CREATING GOOD
JOBS. HOWARD THE FUNDING
PROPONENT OF THE PROJECT
PROPONENT SINKING ABOUT JOB
QUALITY IS A WAY OF ATTRACTING
THE WORKERS THAT THEY NEED WITH
THE APPROPRIATE SKILLS AND ALSO
RETAINING WORKERS BECAUSE HIGH
ATTRITION IS NOT GOING TO GET US
TO THE- ENERGY TRANSITION
NETWORK THAT WE'RE TRYING TO
ACCELERATE- SO WHAT HOUSE JOB
QUALITY MEASURE DO WORKERS HAVE
A VOICE ON THE JOB OVER
DECISIONS THAT AFFECT THEM. WHAT
IS THE COMMITMENT TO- THE
WORKERS FREE AND FAIR CHANCE TO
JOIN A UNION WHAT ARE THE WAGES
ARE THEY ABOVE AVERAGE FOR THE
INDUSTRY AND FOR THE COMMUNITY
FOR THE WORKING CONDITIONS THE
SAFETY. OF THE SAFETY STANDARDS
AND WHATNOT SO WE'RE ASKING
APPLICANTS TO GIVE US
COMMITMENTS ON THE IS THIS JOB
QUALITY. FRONT WERE ALSO ASKING
FOR COMMITMENTS ON DIVERSITY
EQUITY INCLUSION AND ACCESS TO
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT AS
WE'RE CREATING GOOD JOBS THERE
ALSO ACCESSIBLE PARTICULARLY. TO
PEOPLE WHO HAVEN'T HAD ACCESS TO
A GOOD CAREER TRACKER WEALTH
BUILDING OPPORTUNITIES. AND THEN
THERE'S THE JUSTICE FORTY
INITIATIVE. WHICH IS TO ENSURE
THAT 40% OF THE BENEFITS OF
THESE INVESTMENTS RECRUITED
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES WERE
ASKING. FOR APPLICANTS TO
DESCRIBE THOSE BENEFITS AND HOW
THEY INTEND TO MEASURE THEM AND
HOLD THEMSELVES ACCOUNTABLE TO
MAKING SURE THAT THOSE ARE
DELIVERED. AND THEN THE
ACCOUNTABILITY PIECE WHAT WE'RE
REALLY ASKING FOR IS NOT FOR A
COMMITMENT TO US AT THE
DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY BUT OUR
COMMITMENT TO MEMBERS OF THE
COMMUNITY BOTH WORKERS AND
FRONTLINE. OUR FENCE LINE
COMMUNITIES THAT ARE MOST
AFFECTED BY THESE PROJECTS WE
WANT TO SEE COMMUNITY BENEFITS
AGREEMENTS COLLECTIVE BARGAINING
AGREEMENTS. FORMAL LEGALLY
ENFORCEABLE AGREEMENT THAT WILL
HOLD PROJECT DEVELOPERS
ACCOUNTABLE TO THOSE MOST
AFFECTED BY THEIR EFFORTS. IN
THROUGH THE IMPLEMENTATION.
PROCESS AND SO THEY COMMIT BILL
THEY DID AGREE TO WHICH
APPLICANTS ARE CAN TO THE THINGS
. OR IS. UP 220% OF THE-
TECHNIQUE REVIEW OF THEIR
PROPOSAL SO IT'S ENOUGH IT'S
LARGE ENOUGH NOT TO IGNORE- US
AND SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH TODAY TO
ACTUALLY TIPPED THE SCALES ONE
WAY OR ANOTHER. BETWEEN
COMPETITIVE PROJECTS. SO ALREADY
WENT THROUGH THIS BUT THIS IS
JUST DETAILING WHAT SPECIFICALLY
WERE LOOKING FOR WHEN WE TALK
ABOUT CREATING GOOD JOBS THE
COMMITMENTS TO PAY ABOVE AVERAGE
WAGES AND BENEFITS NOT ONLY IN
CONSTRUCTION. BUT ALSO IN THE
OPERATIONS OF THE ON GOING
PRODUCTION JOBS. WE WANT
ASSURANCES THAT WORKERS WILL
HAVE THAT FREE AND FAIR CHANCE
TO JOIN OR FORMING UNION BEYOND
THEIR LEGAL RIGHTS. YOU KNOW THE
EMPLOYERS HAVE OF THE RIGHT TO-
THIS FREEDOM OF SPEECH RIGHT TO
CONTRADICT. COUNTER WORKERS
RIGHT TO ORGANIZE WE REALLY WANT
TO SEE A COMMITMENTS BEYOND WHAT
THE WHAT THEY'RE LEGALLY
OBLIGATED TO DO IN TERMS OF
ENSURING WORKERS RIGHTS TO
ORGANIZE. WE WANT TO SEE-
THERE'S NOT A LOT OF FUNDING AND
EITHER BILL OR I REFER WORKFORCE
DEVELOPMENT WE REALLY WANT TO
SEE FUNDING RECIPIENTS MAKE
THOSE INVESTMENTS CONTINUALLY
AND SUPPORTING THE DEVELOPMENT
OF THE SKILLED. WORKFORCE IN
PROVIDING PATHWAYS TO
ADVANCEMENT FOR THEIR WORKERS
AND THEN WE WANT TO ENSURE THAT
WORKERS I HAVE A VOICE IN THE
IMPLEMENTATION AND DESIGN OF
WORKPLACE HEALTH AND SAFETY
PLANS. IN TERMS OF DIVERSITY
EQUITY INCLUSION AND ACCESS TO
ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY WERE REALLY
ASKING APPLICANTS TO PARTNER
WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS WITH
EXPERTISE WITH COMMUNITIES THAT
ARE UNDERSERVED IN OTHER UNDER
REPRESENTED THAT INCLUDES
TRAINING ORGANIZATIONS. LIKE
CALIFORNIA'S HIRING TRAINING
PARTNERSHIPS THAT ARE REALLY
THINKING TO REDUCE THOSE
BARRIERS TO ACCESS MIGHT ALSO
INCLUDE WORKING WITH MINORITY
SERVING INSTITUTIONS ARE UNDER
REPRESENTED BUSINESSES. AND THEN
ON THE JUSTICE FORTY UNDERSTOOD
IF I WANTED TO SHOW THIS JUST
BECAUSE THIS IS NOT NOT. THAT G.
RE HAS PUT TOGETHER OF THE ZIP
CODES THAT FALL INTO THAT
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITY
DEFINITION IS DIFFERENT FROM
THAT CALIFORNIA AND BUYERS
SCREEN THE GREEN ARE THE
TROUBLE. ON THE TRIBAL
COMMUNITIES THE SORT OF
AUTOMATICALLY FALL UNDER THIS
DEFINITION AND THEN BUILD IT IS
A LIST OF SOME OF THE BENEFITS
THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR IN THESE
PROJECTS. AND THEN FINALLY THE
ACCOUNTABILITY PIECE HOW DO WE
ENSURE THAT THESE PROJECTS ARE
ACCOUNTABLE. TO THE COMMUNITY
MEMBERS AND WORKERS WE CAN DO
THAT THROUGH THE SCORING AS I
JUST WENT THROUGH. THROUGH
INCORPORATING THEN THOSE
COMMITMENTS INTO FUNDING TERMS
AND CONDITIONS. THE LEGALLY
ENFORCEABLE AGREEMENTS THAT DEAL
IS NOT PARTY TO BUT THAT WE'RE
ENCOURAGING BETWEEN PARTNERS IN
THE COMMUNITY AND THEN PUBLIC
TRANSPARENCY WHAT ARE THESE KIND
OF ONE OF THESE FUNDING
APPLICANTS COMMITTING TO. HOW DO
WE MAKE SURE THAT THE PUBLIC SO
THAT- SENATE LABOR UNIONS AND
COMMUNITY GROUPS CAN PRO
ACTIVELY ENGAGED WITH THE WITH
THE FUNDED PARTNERS NOT WAIT TO
BE CONTACTED. AND MET WITH THAT
I WILL STOP AND HAND IT BACK. TO
YOU SENATOR BAKER. I THANK THAT
WAS A- X. I KNOW. SOME OTHER
PANTS HASN'T WAS A TIME
CONSTRAINT COMING UP SO ELSE LA
OF QUESTIONS NOW BUT I WILL. ASK
YOU WHEN YOU MENTIONED. M. YOU
WILL PROVIDE BILLING FOR HIGH
GYM FACILITY BILLION BATTERY
MANUFACTURING DOLLARS HEAT PUMP
MANUFACTURING AND I KNOW THERE'S
MONEY ALSO JUST SOME PROJECTS
RUN CARBON- WITH ISSUE. THERE'S-
COMMITTEE WERE STATIONED ALSO
CARBON REMOVAL OF THIS COMING
CHRISTIAN THIS HOW DO YOU SEE
CALIFORNIA COMPETING FOR THESE
AND YOU FEEL LIKE- WE'RE- DOING
A GOOD JOB ANY ADVICE YOU HAVE
FOR US IN TERMS OF. THAT
COMPETING TO MAKE SURE SOME OF
THOSE NEW. INDUSTRIES AS MANY AS
POSSIBLE LOCATED HERE. YOU KNOW
OF WE'RE SEEING A LOT OF IN
TERMS OF TRACKING THE PRIVATE
SECTOR INVESTMENT WE'RE SEEING.
A LOT OF STATES PUT TOGETHER
VERY VERY COMPETITIVE PACKAGES
TO ATTRACT NEW INDUSTRY. TO
THEIR STATES AND- AND THEN
THERE'S STATES THAT ARE SORT OF.
OF FIGURING OUT WHAT THAT RIGHT
COMBINATION OR THAT RIGHT
PACKAGE. LOOKS LIKE BECAUSE
THERE'S THINGS BEYOND JUST THE
TAX PACKAGE THAT ARE OFFERED TO
COMPANIES THAT MAKE A PARTICULAR
LOCATION. ATTRACTIVE SO- SO
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE SEEING REALLY
DRIVE THIS SINCE THE PRIVATE
SECTOR INVESTMENT IS MUCH MORE
SIGNIFICANT THAN THE PUBLIC
DOLLARS THAT WE'RE- USING TO
KIND OF. IMAGINE MOVE THINGS IN.
US IN THE DIRECTION OF TO
ACHIEVE THIS IS A SYSTEMIC GOALS
THAT THE ADMINISTRATION HAS LAID
OUT- BUT IN TERMS OF.
COMPETITIVENESS FOR THESE- THESE
THIS COMPETITIVE FUNDING- THE
COMMUNITY BENEFITS PLAN IS
REALLY REALLY IMPORTANT THE
TECHNICAL THE OTHER TECHNICAL
MERITS OF PROJECTS ARE IMPORTANT
BUT TWENTY PERCENT. OF FOR THESE
KIND OF SOCIAL CRITERIA WHICH IS
SOMETHING THAT CALIFORNIA HAS
BEEN DOING FOR A LONG TIME AND
HAS A LOT OF INFRASTRUCTURE FOR.
BUT I THINK WHAT I THINK. BERMS
APPLYING FUNDING- BASIN
CALIFORNIA HAVE. PROBABLY HAVE A
BIT OF AN ADVANTAGE WHEN IT
COMES TO THE DEVELOPING THE
COMMUNITY BENEFITS PLANS I'M
SHOWING THE COMMITMENTS TO HIGH
ROAD JOBS. AND INCLUSION AND-
THE 40% OF BENEFITS TO
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES ARE
THINGS THAT. I THINK IN SOME
WAYS WERE MODELED OFF WHAT
CALIFORNIA HAS IT'S BEEN DOING
SO MAKING CALIFORNIA SHOULD
HAVE. SOME ADVANTAGE THERE.
GREAT WHAT SEE AND YOU'RE GOING
THROUGH A LOT OF HIS OUT- VERY
MUCH ALIGNED WITH THE POLICY
RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WE HAD THE
ROOF MATERIALS FROM THE TWENTY
TWENTY WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT.
BOARD THE HIGH ROAD CLEAN ENERGY
JOBS REPORT THAT THAT- CAROLINE
OTHERS- PUT TOGETHER SO
EXCELLENT I'M GOOD THANK YOU-
THANKS VERY MUCH TO BOTH OF YOU
WE'RE GONNA MOVE ON NOW TO OUR
OUR SECOND. PANEL AND WE'RE
GOING TO HEAR FROM A PANEL
STAKEHOLDERS PROVIDING THEIR
PERSPECTIVES FROM THE WORK FORCE
END OF FIRST WE'LL HEAR FROM
SAM. APPLE SAM IS THAT COVERS
THE MANAGER FOR THE BLUEGREEN
ALLIANCE AND- I KNOW YOU HAVE
SOME TIME CONSTRAINTS AND SO
WHEN WE WILL START WITH SAM
THEY'RE GONNA HEAR FROM HIM.
JEFFERIES TYSON BACK WE'LL ALL
INTRODUCED IN A MOMENT GO AHEAD
SAM. HI CAN YOU HEAR ME YES.
THANK YOU CHAIR BAKER AND YOUR

SERVE THREE GOALS PRIMARILY
PASSED POLICIES IN CALIFORNIA
THAT GREATLY INCREASE UNION
JOBS. AND UNION JOBS FOR WORKERS
OF COLOR THAT AND OTHER
EXPLOITED WORKERS IN THE CLEAN
ECONOMY- TO SUPPORT OUR CLIMATE
GOALS AND ACCELERATE
DECARBONISATION AND TO MITIGATE
ENVIRONMENTAL INJUSTICES. MANAGE
THAT IMPACT LOW INCOME
CALIFORNIA COMMUNITIES. I'M
THERE SHOULD BE MAYBE A- A
SYSTEM SLIDES BUILD I'M NOT SURE
. IF THOSE WILL BE GOING OUT
BUT- I'M- OUR MEMBERS INCLUDE.
FOLLOWING GROUPS. AND FROM. THE
LABOR AND- THE ENVIRONMENTAL
COMMUNITY DECIDED TO SHARE THOSE

UNIONS. BUILDING TRADES-
MANUFACTURING UNIONS OF PUBLIC
SECTOR WORKERS- AND- ON GAGE IN
MUCH THE WORK THAT WE'RE
DISCUSSING TODAY- WE BUILD
COALITIONS AROUND POLICIES THAT
WILL EXPAND UNIONIZATION REDUCE
GREENHOUSE GASES AND DELIVER
EGYPT BENEFITS- AND WE ONLY WORK
WHERE WE CAN BUILD ALIGNMENT OR
FIND IT BETWEEN ENVIRONMENTAL
GROUPS AND UNIONS SO ALL THE
POLICIES THAT WE WORK ON THAT
I'LL BE DISCUSSING TO THEIR- THE
CONSENSUS- POINTS BETWEEN THE
LABOR MOVEMENT ENVIRONMENTAL
MOVEMENT- AND I THINK IT OFTEN
SURPRISES. FOLKS THE SCOPE OF
WHAT FITS WITHIN THAT- THE
MIDDLE THAT BEEN DIAGRAM BUT
IT'S QUITE A BIT AND WE LIKE TO
POINT OUT THAT IT'S NOT. JUST
CONFLICT IN AMONG OUR
STAKEHOLDERS- SO THERE'S SO MUCH
TO SAY TODAY- AND PARTICULARLY
AT THIS TIME OF PREPARATION ARE
LEGISLATIVE CALENDAR I'M GOING
TO TRY TO AIM TO PROVIDE A BROAD
SCOPE OF THE STATE OF PLAY
AROUND WORKFORCE EQUITY POLICY
THE CLEAN ECONOMY AS IT RELATES
TO CALIFORNIA. IN PARTICULAR
FOLK ON THE WAY THAT THIS
COMMITTEE- IS ENGAGED TO S. AND
SO I'LL START WITH THE WINNERS
FROM LAST YEAR WHERE THAT LEAVES
US NOW. AND THEN BIG PRIORITIES
IN THE YEAR AND YEARS AHEAD FOR
OUR LABOR ENVIRONMENT
STAKEHOLDERS- SO THE
RETROSPECTIVE THAT THE COMMITTEE
PUT TOGETHER FROM THE THREE
NINETY REPORT THAT CROWD
DISCUSSED EARLIER- WAS GREAT AND
YOU KNOW IT'S FUNNY HOW MUCH
CHANGES AND HOW MUCH SHE STAYS
THE SAME- WHAT'S STAYED THE SAME
AND WE'RE WE'VE SEEN VERY LITTLE
ACTION. OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS
SINCE THERE'S THREE NINETY EIGHT
REPORT CAME OUT- IS WE'RE NOT
SEEING MUCH MOVEMENT YET ON
MAKING SURE THAT- MILLIONS AND
BILLIONS THAT WE'RE INVESTING IN
ELECTRICAL GENERATION- RESULTS
AND- DOMESTIC IN CALIFORNIA.
BASED SUPPLY CHAINS FOR CAPITAL
EQUIPMENT- THERE ENERGY. FISHING
WORK FORCE AROUND IMPROVING JOB
QUALITY AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY
HAVE LARGELY NOT BEEN REALIZED
ALTHOUGH THERE IS PROGRESS. ON
THE REGULATORY FRONT- WEATHER IS
ASIAN AND ROOFTOP UPSKILLING HAS
NOT. REALLY HAPPENED- WHAT HAS
CHANGED HOWEVER IS- COMMUNITY
SOLAR JOB QUALITY AND- MICROGRID
JOB QUALITY- HAS. IMPROVED
ESPECIALLY IN THE LAST YEAR AND
THERE'S BEEN MAJOR CASH INFUSION
CENTER ARE HIRING TRAINING
PARTNERSHIPS PROGRAMS. AND
HIRING CONSTRUCTION CAREER
PROGRAMS WHICH ARE REALLY GREAT.
TRAINING PROGRAMS THAT THAT
UNION MEMBERS TO WORK AND BUILD
THE PIPELINE OF- LOW INCOME AND
DISADVANTAGED WORKERS INTO THE
UNIONIZED APPRENTICESHIP HE SAID
WHAT WE'RE NOT SEEING WE'RE SO
THE MEMBER SLIDE IS DO YOU
ANOTHER SIDE. YES I'M ABOUT TO
GO TO THAT OKAY ARGUE SO. SO
HERE'S A PERSON THE PROGRESS
THAT WE MADE LEGISLATIVELY- LAST
YEAR AND PARTICULARLY RELEVANT
AS IT'S RELATED TO THIS.
COMMITTEE- EIGHTY TWO TWENTY
THREE SIXTY CARE BY ASSEMBLY
MEMBER WE- THE FIRST TIME CREATE
A NEW AND H. LEADER COMMUNE
SOLAR AND STORAGE PROGRAM FOR
LOW INCOME COMMUNITIES OF COLOR.
AND IN THE PROCESS IT REQUIRED
PREVAILING WAGE ON ALL COMMUNITY
SOLAR PROJECTS THAT THIS PROGRAM
WILL FIND AND THAT'S THE SORT
OF- TAKING DOWN THIS GOING DOWN
THE SCALE OF SOLAR A LITTLE BIT
INTO THE COMMUNITY LEVEL- AND
ADDING THE WORK ADDING WORKFORCE
REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE GETTING
GIVE LEVERAGE TO UNION HIGH ROAD
EMPLOYERS TO GET INTO THAT
SPACE. THAT'S REALLY PROMISING-
IN TERMS OF IN INCREASING JOB
QUALITY IN THE SOLAR INDUSTRY
ESPECIALLY AS RELATED TO
DISTRIBUTED ENERGY RESOURCES-
AND WE'RE REALLY THRILLED TO SEE
THAT THERE'S A AND ALLIANCE
BUILDING THERE BETWEEN THE
ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE. COMMUNITY
AND LOCAL COMMUNITY GROUPS AND
LABOR UNIONS ON THAT FRONT. IT
IS VEIN AB TWO ONE FOR THREE
MARKS SOME PROGRESS ON ROOFTOP
SOLAR- WHERE PROJECTS ABOUT
FIFTEEN COLFAX. FUNDED YOUR NET
ENERGY METERING PROGRAMS ARE NOW
DESIGNATED AS PUBLIC WORKS
PROJECT- FOR WHICH PREVAILING
WAGE MUST BE PAID- AND SO WE'RE
STARTING TO SEE YOU KNOW
ALTHOUGH UTILITY SCALE IS REALLY
WHERE THE STRONGEST- YOU KNOW
MARKERS FOR UNION JOBS IN THE
SOLAR INDUSTRY. WE'RE GOING DOWN
THE SCALE AND THAT'S GONNA BE
REALLY CRITICAL- TO ADVANCE-
HIGH ROW DEBACLES IN THE ROOFTOP
SOLAR MARKET. I DO WANNA. YOU
KNOW THIS IS A NON EXHAUSTIVE
LIST I'M I'M HIGHLIGHTING SOME
OF. THE THINGS THAT I THINK ARE
PARTICULARLY SALIENT TO THIS
COMMITTEE SB SIX SEVENTY FOUR
LAST YEAR WAS A CRITICAL BILL
ENACT- FOR. THE FIRST TIME IN
SOME WAY. FOR ONE OF THE FIRST
TIMES THE. LEGISLATURE TO- S. TO
THE ACTION TO APPLY WORK FOR
STANDARD TO THE MAN YOU'VE-
DOLLARS THAT THE STATE IS
SPENDING ON ZERO EMISSION
TRANSIT BUSES SO WHAT THE WHAT
THAT BILL REQUIRED IS A LABOR
PEACE AGREEMENT. ON ANY CONTRACT
SECURED TO THE DEPARTMENT EVENT
AND GENERAL SERVICES OF TEN
MILLION DOLLARS OR MORE FOR ZERO
EMISSION TRANSIT BUSES- AND THAT
REALLY IS WHERE WE'RE SEEING THE
BLEEDING EDGE OF POLICY THAT'S
GOING TO DRIVE JOB QUALITY
UNIONIZATION JOBS FOR. LOW
INCOME WORKERS AND WORKERS OF
COLOR IN THE MANUFACTURING
OPERATIONS AND SERVICES SECTORS-
ONE THING THAT YOU KNOW WE-
CONTINUE TO STRESS AND ARE
TRYING TO BUILD ON- IN THIS
SPACE IN CALIFORNIA IS- YOU KNOW
WE HAVE MANY WORK FOR STANDARDS
ON THE BOOKS FOR CONSTRUCTION.
THEY'RE NOT APPLIED UNIVERSALLY
WE NEED TO APPLY THEM MORE
BROADLY AND MORE DEEPLY BUT-
OUTSIDE OF CONSTRUCTION WE HAVE
FEWER MATCHING MANY. MUCH FEWER-
TOOLS- IN THE TOOLBOX- FOR
MAKING. POLICY PERSPECTIVE TO
ENSURE JOB QUALITY IN
MANUFACTURING OPERATIONS AND
SERVICES SB SIX SEVENTY FOUR IS
A GOOD. EXAMPLE OF THE SENATOR
ALSO. PAVING THE WAY TOWARDS
WORKFORCE STANDARDS IN THOSE
CRITICAL SECTORS- I WANTED TO
LIFT UP A FEW AND- THE- BUDGET
WINDS FROM LAST YEAR THAT ARE
CHANGING THE LANDSCAPE ON THIS
FRONT- THE LAST YEAR LEGISLATURE
PASSED A HUNDRED AND SEVENTY
FIVE MILLION DOLLARS FOR
COMMUNITY RESILIENCE CENTERS- WE
ADVOCATED WITH THE COALITION OF
TRADES AND- AND- COMMUNITY
GROUPS. TO SECURE AT THIS MONEY-
AND THERE ARE GONNA BE WORK FOR
STANDARDS ATTACHED TO THE
CONSTRUCTION RELATED TO THE
CENTERS WHICH INVOLVE
MICROGREENS COMMUNITY SOLAR-
ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND OTHER
BUILDING UPGRADES AND LOW INCOME
COMMUNITIES OF COLOR- THE
EQUITABLE BUILDING
DECARBONIZATION PROGRAM IS
ANOTHER PROMISING FRONT WHERE
BUILDING G. CARD WHICH IS HEY.
YOU KNOW CONTESTED AREA BETWEEN
LABOR AND- THE ENVIRONMENTAL
COMMUNITY WE'RE SEEING PASS AT
PATH FORWARD FOR MAKING A ONE
HUNDRED AND TWELVE MILLION
DOLLAR INVESTMENT- FOR UPGRADING
BUILDINGS AND LOW INCOME MULTI.
RESIDENCES AND PREVAILING WAGE
REQUIREMENTS ARE ATTACHED TO
THIS MONEY SO YET AGAIN- DIGGING
INTO THESE HARD SECTORS. MAKING
INVESTMENTS ATTACHING WORK FOR
STANDARDS- AND THEN LAST YEAR WE
ALSO SAW. THE FUNDING OF KEY
WORK FOR STANDARDS BILLS THAT
WERE PASSED IN TWENTY TWENTY ONE
THAT ARE REALLY GONNA START
MAKING A DIFFERENCE NEXT YEAR
WHEN THEY START TO BE- WHEN THE
REGULATIONS AT THE IMPLEMENTING
AGENCIES REALLY GOING TO AFFECT.
AND THOSE BILLS THAT WERE
FOUNDED THOSE EFFORTS ARE FUNDED
INCLUDED EIGHTY SEVEN NINETY
FOUR EIGHTY SIX EIGHTY. EIGHTY
SIX EIGHTY IN PARTICULAR BEING
IN PAIN MANDATE TO THE
CALIFORNIA AIR RESOURCE
RESOURCES BOARD TO ATTACH WORK
FOR STANDARDS AND JOB QUALITY
REQUIREMENTS TO ALL OF THEIR
FUNDING MECHANISMS. AND PROGRAMS
. I'M THE WERE A FEW OTHER BIG
BY AND POLICY WINS LAST YEAR
THAT I JUST WANT TO TAKE NOTE
OF. IN THE LITHIUM TRAILER BILL-
SETTING UP AN EXCISE TAX TO FUND
PUBLIC SERVICES- IN PUBLIC
HEALTH TO REMEDIATION IN- THE
BUILD OUT OF THE LITHIUM
ECOSYSTEM BATTERY SUPPLY CHAIN.
AND N
WHICH ATTACHED SKILLED AND
TRAINED CONSTRUCTION WORKFORCE
REQUIREMENTS TO GRID SCALE SOLAR
WIND AND STORAGE PROJECTS- SO
THOSE ARE SOME REAL BRIGHT
SPOTS. FROM LAST YEAR AND THAT'S
WHAT WE'RE BUILDING FROM. I'M
WHERE I WANT IT ENDS TODAY IS
TALKING ABOUT- WHERE THE SORE
SPOTS WHAT ARE WE BUILDING
TOWARDS WHAT IS KIND OF THE KEY
WHAT ARE THE KEY PROBLEMS IN THE
CLIMATE SECTOR. THAT WE'RE
SOLVING FOR FROM A WORK FOR
SINGLE IN THE YEAR AHEAD AND IN
THE YEARS AHEAD. AND TO START
OFF ON THAT FRONT I REALLY WANT
TO JUST DOUBLE DOWN ON WHAT MANY
HAVE SAID BEFORE WHICH IS THAT.
WORK FOR STANDARDS ESPECIALLY IN
AND- MANUFACTURING SERVICES AND
OPERATIONS AND DEEPENING THEM
AND CONSTRUCTION IS REALLY WHERE
WE NEED TO MOVE FULL STEAM
AHEAD- TO YOU KNOW I THINK THIS
IS MADE CLEAR A LITTLE BIT THIS
IS MADE CLEAR BEFORE BUT- TO SAY
IT AGAIN WORK FOR STANDARDS
INCLUDING WAGING HIRING
STANDARDS. TARGETED HIGHER
STANDARDS. REINING IN A-
REQUIREMENTS THE RIGHT TO
ORGANIZE AND R. F. P. CRITERIA
AND STATE FUNDS THAT LEVERAGE
GOOD JOBS AND- WORKING
CONDITIONS- WORK FOR STANDARDS
ARE REALLY THE ONLY SURE FIRE
WAY THAT WE CAN GET HIGH QUALITY
JOBS FOR LOW INCOME WORKERS OF
COLOR. IN THE CLEAN ECONOMY OR
ELSE IT'S REALLY JUST UP TO THE
COMPANIES TO DECIDE WHETHER THE
JOBS THAT THEY'RE CREATING
THROUGH. STATE FUNDS IN STATE
ENABLE STATE ENABLING PROGRAMS
ARE GOING TO- SO. WHERE CAN WE
BE DOING THIS HOW CAN WE BE
DOING THIS BETTER- WE HAVE SOME
REALLY KEY EFFORTS THAT STARTED
LAST YEAR- THAT ARE GONNA BE
MOVING FORWARD WE HOPE AGAIN
THIS YEAR- ONE OF THOSE IS- THE
BILL CARRIED BY SENATOR ALSO
AGAIN SB SEVEN HUNDRED. WHICH
FOR THE FIRST TIME ATTEMPTS- TO
CREATE THE ADMINISTRATIVE
CAPACITY NECESSARY WITHIN STATE
AGENCIES SUCH THAT- THE LABOR
AGENCY IS ABLE TO HELP THE
IMPLEMENTING AGENCIES LIKE THE
CDC. THE PC AND CAR TO DOCTOR
WORKFORCE STANDARDS ON THEIR
PROGRAMS AND PARTICULARLY
MANUFACTURING SERVICE AND
OPERATION WORK FOR STANDARDS WE
KNOW THAT SOME OF THESE AGENCIES
REALLY DO YOU WANT TO DO THAT
WORK BUT THEY DON'T HAVE THE-
TECHNICAL EXPERTISE AND STAFFING
NEEDED TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN WE
SEE THIS AS REALLY CRITICAL.
ADMINISTRATIVE ARCHITECTURE
NECESSARY. TO ADVANCING OUR WORK
FOR SCHOOLS. I'M FEDERAL- WE HAD
THERE WAS A BILL LAST YEAR THAT
WAS TEMPTED TO APPLY WORK FOR
STANDARDS AND JUSTICE FORTY
REQUIREMENTS ALL- S. FEDERAL
INVESTMENTS FROM IRA AND- AND
BILL- ABOVE FIVE MILLION DOLLARS
WE WANT TO SEE THOSE
REQUIREMENTS GO THROUGH AND
THOSE ARE CRITICAL TO. MAKING
SURE THAT CONSTRUCTION VAST
INVESTMENTS ARE GOING THE RIGHT
WAY CALIFORNIA. AND THEN WILL
ALSO BE FOCUSING ON THE WORK
FORCE STANDARDS FOR. ON FARM AND
CATCHING- THE CIVIC SUBSTANDARD
CRITERIA TO KEEP FUNDING STREAMS
AND MANUFACTURING- AND ELECTRIC
VEHICLE SUPPLY CHAINS AND OTHER
CLEAN ECONOMY SUPPLY CHAINS- WE
HAD A RECORD INVESTMENT TO HAVE-
TWO BILLION DOLLARS JUST IN
HEAVY DUTY VEHICLE. FUNDING
ALONE AND THIS IN THE STATE
BUDGET LAST YEAR- AND WE REALLY
WOULD LIKE TO SEE- WORK FOR
STANDARD APPLIED THIS STANDARD
APPLIED TO THOSE FUNDS. SO THAT-
THE FINAL ASSEMBLY AND THE
SUPPLY CHAIN FOR THOSE VEHICLES
IS BUILT IN THE UNITED STATES
BUILDING CALIFORNIA BUILT TO THE
HIGHEST ENVIRONMENTAL AND WORK
FOR STANDARDS. AND WE ALSO WANT
TO BE APPLYING THE STANDARDS TO
ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE- ALL OF
THE MATERIALS THAT ARE GOING
INTO THE BUILDING OF THE
TRANSMISSION AND GENERATION
CAPACITY THAT WE'RE GONNA BE
BUILDING OUT IN THE YEARS AHEAD-
THE- WE ALSO. YOU KNOW IN A
SIMILAR VEIN. AND THERE'S GOING
TO BE QUITE INVESTMENT. IN GEO
THERMAL AND OTHER GENERATION
FACILITIES RELATED TO YOUR
BUILDING OUT OUR BASELOAD POWER
SYSTEM AND THE OPERATIONS JOBS
CONNECTED TO THOSE. CURRENTLY DO
NOT HAVE WORK FOR STANDARDS
APPLY TO THEM SO WE NEED TO BE
BUILDING OUT OPERATIONS WORK FOR
STANDARDS. I'M GONNA DRESS TO
MORE AREAS WHERE- LABOR MOVEMENT
IN THE ENVIRONMENT ENVIRONMENTAL
MOVEMENT DEEPLY ALIGNED IN
CALIFORNIA- AND THOSE ARE- WATER
IN BUILDINGS AND IN THE BASELOAD
POWER. SPACE M. AS CALIFORNIA
RAMPS DOWN EMISSIONS FROM
BUILDINGS ARE MEMBERS ARE
FOCUSED ON DECARBONISING.
BUILDINGS WHILE LEVERAGING THE
WORK OF ACHES AND EXPERTISE OF
PLUMBERS ELECTRICIANS AND OTHER
UNIONIZED WORKERS TO CONSTRUCT
THOSE BUILDINGS- AND WE'VE SEEN
IN THE LAST YEAR THROUGH SOME OF
THE- BUDGET WORK. THAT'S BEEN
DONE. TO DATE THAT'S ON THE
SLIDE HERE- THAT THERE'S A DEEP
ALIGNMENT BETWEEN OUR CONSISTENT
CONSTITUENCIES ON THAT WORK- WE
WANT TO SEE- NUMBER MORE MONEY
GOING INTO DECARBONISING
BUILDINGS WITH WORK FOR
STANDARDS ON IT- AND WE'RE GOING
TO BE WORKING AT THE
INTERSECTION OF THE J. AND LABOR
TO MAKE SURE THAT'S HAPPENING.
ON THE BASELOAD POWER FRONT AND
WE'RE ALSO SEEING THE NEED-
THOSE FROM A- LIABILITY
PERSPECTIVE BUT ALSO FROM JUST
BILL GET A PERSPECTIVE JUST
BUILDING STABLE CAREERS FOR
INDUSTRIAL WORKERS AND SAFETY
FOR HE J. COMMUNITIES. THE NEED
TO EXPAND THE BASE LOAD POWER
SUPPLY IN GEOTHERMAL ENERGY GRID
STORAGE- AND DISTRICT ENERGY
PUMPED STORAGE WHERE
APPROPRIATE. AND OFFSHORE WIND
DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL WITH THE
SUPPLY CHAIN LINK TO THAT. I'M
SO I CAN BE HAPPY TO ANSWER
QUESTIONS ON YOU KNOW HOW. EACH
OF THESE MIGHT WE MIGHT AND MAKE
PROGRESS ON EACH OF THESE BUT
THESE ARE AREAS WHERE WE'RE
SEEING DEEP ALIGNMENT IN THE
ENVIRONMENTAL MOVEMENT AND THE
LABOR MOVEMENT AND LOOKING TO
SEE PROGRESS WITH THAT. THE
LEGISLATURE IN YOUR HEAD. GREAT
APPRECIATE THE IN DEPTH
PRESENTATION I CALIFORNIA OF THE
GOOD THINGS WHEN THINGS GOT DONE
LAST YEAR THE THINGS TO LOOK
FORWARD TO ONE QUESTION I HAVE I
DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW THE
INSURER AND CAROL STILL- ON THE
LINE BUT- THE UTILITY SCALE
RENEWABLES WILL GET SYSTEM BUT
YOU KNOW HOW MANY UTILITY SCALE
RENEWABLE. JOBS THERE ARE HERE
IN CALIFORNIA TODAY TWO DAY. I
DON'T HAVE A GREAT ANSWER TO
THAT I RECENTLY SEEN STATISTIC
THAT SOMEWHERE AROUND TWO
HUNDRED THOUSAND JOBS IN SOLAR
HAVE BEEN CREATED THROUGH OUR
PS- BUT- YOU DON'T HAVE YEAH
THAT'S WHAT I MEAN I WAS THE CEO
OF THE TRUTH- RESIDENTIAL
ROOFTOPS OKAY GOOD LET'S SAY I'M
LOOKING TO. GET SO IF YOU FIND
OUT LATER THAT WOULD BE THAT WE
COULD WE CAN ALSO HELP WITH.

YOU CONSUME THE IMAGE ENERGY
THAT I WANTS TO USE. THAT AS A
TECHNOLOGY THAT WILL HELP BRIDGE
THE DIVIDE BETWEEN WHERE WE ARE
WHERE WE WANT TO GO. WILL COST
OUR JOBS. COVERING CAPTURE WILL

TECHNOLOGIES. ABSOLUTELY THANK
YOU SENATOR YES I ENJOYED
MEETING WITH AT MY LOCAL THEY
ALSO IS WHAT BUT I WE ARE IT SO
UNDERSTANDING THAT AS THE AS I
STATED EARLIER AS THE DESIRE
CALIFORNIA DESIRE TO CONSUME
ENERGY IS CHANGING. IS NOT THE
APPETITE IS JUST HOUSING GOING
TO MISS HIM TO TAKE A CERTAIN
ENERGY ALSO LOOKING AT ALL THE
DIFFERENT VERSES DR KNOWLEDGE IS
WHAT WE'RE WHAT WE'RE ADVOCATING
TO DO BECAUSE- THAT WE WOULD GET
TO WHAT WE'RE GOING TO GO. THE
HYDROGEN JIO STORES OF US
GENERAL GARBLED THE- YEAH I WAS
GOING TO. THE OFFICER WITH THE
BATTERY STORE ALL OF THOSE
SECTORS IN WHICH HOW WE
DIVERSIFY OUR DIVERSIFY OUR YOU
KNOW HOW WOULD. DIVERSIFY

WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE DOING
EVERYTHING WE CAN TO SPEED THE

WELL TYSON GO AHEAD. IN REBEKAH
CAN YOU GUYS ME OKAY YES WE CAN
. ONE FOUR STAR OUT SEEING HOW
ALL I TO BE TO PRESENT ALL OF
YOU TO. AND HOW GREAT I AM TO BE
A REP. THE MEN AND WOMEN THAT
WORK IN THE WORK AND GAS AND
ENERGY INDUSTRY IN CAL. ALL I
HAVE BEEN A PART OF THE OIL AND
GAS INDUSTRY FOR TWELVE YEARS
NOW. AS A MATTER OF FACT I GOT
STARTED IN THE INDUSTRY AS A
ROUGHNECK DROVE FOR OIL. ALL
RIGHT OUTSIDE THE FUEL OF
BAKERSFIELD IN THE FIELDS OF
VENTURA CALIFORNIA. BOB
CURRENTLY I WORK FOR PHILLIPS
SIXTY SIX IN OUR HEALTH AND
SAFETY DEPARTMENT. AT OUR WILL
DEAL REFINERY IN THE BAY AREA OF
CALIFORNIA. I'M ALSO WARM LEAD
WORKFORCE REPRESENTATIVE FOR THE
FACILITY AND LIKE YOU MENTIONED
SIR. THE PRESIDENT OF THE US W.
LOCAL THREE TWENTY SIX. WHAT'S
WRONG ANNOUNCED THIS- BOB GOOD
OF MINE. AND I VERY AWESOME WAVE
LEADER WILL TOLD ME. WAS SOMEONE
ASKING. HOW THEY'RE TREATED. YOU
WITH. YOUR TREAT ME THE WAY I
LET YOU TREAT ME. I THINK FOR
TOO LONG WORKERS OF THE OIL AND
GAS INDUSTRY ENERGY INDUSTRY
HAVE GONE. WITHOUT A VOICE. WE
HAVE PEOPLE IN THE STATE. LOG IN
EXTREME ENVIRONMENTALISTS ASSUME
HAVE LITTLE REGARD FOR OUR
INDUSTRY. AND THE MEN AND WOMEN.
THAT WORK IN THIS INDUSTRY AND
WHAT WE DO- WE HAVE PEOPLE THAT
THINK THAT WE ARE THE ENEMY. I
WILL NOT TELL YOU. THAT THAT
THAT THAT IS INACCURATE WE ARE
NOT YOUR ENEMY WE ARE THE ANSWER
TO THE PROBLEMS. WE ARE THE BLUE
COLLAR PROFESSIONALS THAT WORK
TIRELESSLY. AND SIXTY FIVE DAYS
A YEAR TWENTY FOUR SEVEN TO MEET
THE DEMANDS. OF THE FORTY
MILLION PEOPLE THAT CALL THIS
GREAT STATE HOME. IN CALIFORNIA
WE PRODUCE FOUR HUNDRED SIXTY
THREE THOUSAND BARRELS OF OIL
OUT OF THE GROUND TODAY. WE
CONSUME ONE POINT EIGHT MILLION
BARRELS OF OIL PER DAY. NUMBERS
DON'T MATCH. WE HAVE PEOPLE THAT
WANT TO DO WAY WITH OIL
EXTRACTION REFINING. THAT OUR
WAY OF LIFE AND THAT IS
UNACCEPTABLE. THEY WANT TO BAN
THIS INDUSTRY. IF THEY ARE
SUCCESSFUL CALIFORNIA WITH NOW
THE FOURTH LARGEST ECONOMY IN
THE WORLD FORTY MILLION PEOPLE
AND THIRTY FIVE MILLION CARS.
EVERY SINGLE DROP OF OIL WILL
HAVE TO BE IMPORTED FROM FOREIGN
COUNTRIES. CASES LIKE RUSSIA
MIDDLE EAST I THINK YOU GUYS CAN
ASSUME THEY ARE NOT FRIENDS OF
OURS. WE PRODUCE OUR ENERGY HE-
IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA THE
CLEANEST WITH THE MOST
REGULATIONS WE DO WITH THE
SAFEST. WOULD FOLLOW. ARE GOOD
STEWARDS OF THE ENVIRONMENT.
WHAT PEOPLE NEED TO REALIZE THAT
WE ARE SIMPLY REMOVE EACH OF
CALIFORNIA. TODAY BUT TIED TO
ALL THIS. OR THE HUNDRED AND
TWELVE THOUSAND MEN AND WOMEN
THAT WORK SURE ACTUALLY IN THIS
INDUSTRY ANY OTHER SEVERAL
HUNDRED THOUSAND THAT INDIRECTLY
ARE EMPLOYED BECAUSE OF THIS
INDUSTRY. AND I AM SO GRATEFUL
FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY. TO NOT
ONLY EXPRESS MY PASSION FOR THE
INDUSTRY THAT I WORK IN. THE
EVER EVOLVING INDUSTRY THAT'S
TAKING PLACE IN CALIFORNIA
THERE'S NO DOUBT. THAT
CALIFORNIA HAS ALWAYS BEEN A
FOREFRONT IN LEADER. INNOVATION
AND TECHNOLOGY. SINCE I WAS A
YOUNG BOY SEEN THESE CHANGES
TAKE PLACE IN THE VALLEY
BAKERSFIELD. AND IN THE STREETS
OF LOS ANGELES. CA NOW WHERE WE
ARE NOW. BUT OFTEN LAW IN THAT.
OR THE- MEN AND WOMEN THAT ARE
SIMPLY MEETING THE NEEDS OF
CALIFORNIA TODAY. AND I DON'T
CARE IF THIS YEAR WILL FIELDS OF
THE CENTRAL VALLEY OF
CALIFORNIA. WITH AREAS OF THE
REFINERY OF LOS ANGELES. PEOPLE
NEED TO REALIZE REALLY TAKE OFF
AN AIRPLANE. IF YOU CAME FROM US
THEY CAN FROM THE BLUE COLLAR
MEN AND WOMEN THAT PRODUCE TO
MAKE THE ACTUAL THE SKILLED
WORKERS THAT MAKE THAT FUEL. IN
THE BUILDING TRADES IN THE BILL
DOES REFINERIES. WHEN THEY TURN
ON THEIR STORES. THE NATURAL GAS
STRIPPING FROM THE DRILLER
FEDERAL THAT WELL IN THE
PIPELINE- THAT GOT THAT GAS. TO
THOSE PEOPLE'S HOMES. WHEN THEY
FLIP THAT'S WHY ON THAT'LL- CAN
FROM THE LABOR OF THE BLUE
COLLAR MEN AND WOMEN OF THE
BUILDING TRADES. AND STEEL
WORKERS THAT ONE OFF IN DOES
FORGET RECENTLY ENERGY
PRODUCTION. WE WILL CALL MEN AND
WOMEN OF ENERGY TO IN CALIFORNIA
OR THE INTEREST. OF THIS STATE.
ALL AS AYE AYES ARE REFLECTING
CONTINUE TO THINK MORE ABOUT
THIS SONG. I DON'T KNOW IF
YOU'VE HEARD SENATOR VECTOR AND
OF THE COMMITTEE. OF MY FACILITY
JOURNAL DALE PHILLIPS SIXTY SIX.
HAS HAD A HILL MERRY THROWN TO
US IN TWENTY TWENTY. AND YOU TO
THE DEMISE OF THE ALL
REGULATIONS ARE TAKING PLACE
THAT ARE AFFECTED. WORKING
FAMILIES TO SHUT DOWN INDUSTRY
AND HEAVY INDUSTRY IN
CALIFORNIA. WELL WITH THAT WELL
WE ARE DOING RENEWABLE OUGHT TO
PRODUCE RENEWABLE FUELS FOR THE
TRANSPORTATION. SECTOR ABOVE THE
CALIFORNIA. WE'VE BEEN BATTLING
THIS FROM FOR TWO YEARS. WE HAVE
EVERYTHING THAT THE STATE OFFICE
TO DO WE HAVE FOLLOWED THE LEAD
OF GOVERNOR NEWSOM I REMEMBER
GOVERNOR'S PRESS CONFERENCE. IN
NOVEMBER OF TWENTY TWENTY.
SAYING THAT THE MARATHON
PETROLEUM REFINERY AND THE WILL
DALE PHILLIPS SIXTY SIX REFINERY
SHOULD OUT THE RED CARPET ROLLED
OUT FOR THESE PROJECTS BUT YET.
WE CONTINUE TO HAVE. ROGUE
AGENCIES IN A RED CHEVY. THROWN
AT US. FROM STREAMERS AND
BUNDLED. AND ROGUE REGULATORY
LOCAL AGENCIES SUCH AS THEIR
DISTRICTS AND B. H. U. N. D. AND
OTHERS. STILL AFFECT YOUR SEATS
PROJECTS WE HAVE. WINDED
OFFSHORE WIND PROJECTS TO
CONTINUE TO BE STRONGHOLDS LIKE
STREAMERS TO GENDER. THAT ARE
AFFECTING WORKING FAMILIES AS
CALIFORNIA ATTEMPTS TO
TRANSITION OUR ENERGY INTO THE
RENEWABLE SECTOR. ALL LIKE I
SAID FOR TOO LONG WORKERS AT MY
INDUSTRY HAVE GONE WITHOUT A
VOICE FAVOR. AS LEGISLATION
CONTINUES TO AFFECT OUR JOBS.
AND WHAT I HOPE PEOPLE REMEMBERS
WHICH PERSONALIZADOS THAT. WE
WALK THROUGH THE HEAT OF THE
CENTRAL VALLEY IN THE SMALL
AMOUNTS TO GET PEOPLE ELECTED
THEM WHEN THEY GET PEOPLE
ELECTED. WE OFTEN SOMETIMES GET
A NICE WAVE OUT THERE WITH THE
RETURN TO THE CAPITOL. FOR A
PHONE CALL ASKING FOR MORE
POLITICAL SUPPORT. WHAT I
OFTENTIMES OUR VOICES ARE LEFT
OUT. AN INCIDENT ABOUT ON GLAD
THAT ALL YOU GUYS HAD MENTIONED
THE FORTY MILLION DOLLAR
CONVERSATION FOR MISSTATEMENT. I
WAS A PART OF THAT CONVERSATION
WITH MY OTHER LOCALS SO OFTEN WE
STILL WORKERS IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA THAT REPRESENT OVER
TWENTY THOUSAND ENERGY INDUSTRY
WORKERS. THE REPRESENTED BY THE
U. S. W. AND I GOTTA BE HONEST
WITH YOU WHAT A SLAP IN THE FACE
TO THROW FORTY MILLION DOLLARS
AND TWENTY THOUSAND PEOPLE
THAT'S TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS A
PERSON. AND THAT IS NO WAY. TO
LOOK AT SOME. VETERANS OR WHAT
PEOPLE WANT TO CALL IT JUST.
BECAUSE THAT IS I'M JUST. WE ARE
GETTING LEFT OUT BY A CONTINUE
TO BE STONEWALLED BY ROGATION
SEASON PERMITTING PROJECTS THAT
THAT WILL GET US INTO THE
FUTURE. AND ONE THING I WANT
PEOPLE TO KEEP IN MIND. THAT I'M
VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT IS ALL.
BOB WE WILL QUICK IS IT IS LAW
ALWAYS. THAT IF YOU WANT TO
CHANGE PEOPLE'S LIVES FOR THE
BETTER. YOU GIVE THEM AN
OPPORTUNITY TO WORK AND EARN
THAT LIVE IN YOUR CAREER. THAT'S
WHAT THE ENERGY INDUSTRY DOES IT
DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A ONE SIZE
FITS ALL APPROACH I BELIEVE THAT
BOTH. THE GREEN ENERGY INDUSTRY
AND THE FOSSIL FUEL INDUSTRY IN
CALIFORNIA CAN COEXIST TOGETHER
TO MAKE CALIFORNIA THRIVE AND
FLOURISH AS IT SHOULD. WHAT
REALLY WE SHOULD ALL BE TALKING
ABOUT IS NOT NET ZERO EMISSIONS
BUT NET. IN AN AND WE KEEP
PEOPLE OUT OF POVERTY BY
EMBRACING ONE APPARENTLY WITH
YEARS IN THE STEEL WORKERS AND
THE CALIFORNIA STATE BUILDING
AND CONSTRUCTION TRADES. THAT'S
ALL WE HELP PEOPLE ALSO. IF
INDUSTRY ALL- WE PRIDE OURSELVES
ON. AND WE EMPLOY VETERANS
PEOPLE FROM THOSE FENCE LINE
COMMUNITIES START MENTIONED
EARLIER PEOPLE FROM THOSE HUGE A
COMMUNITIES. PEOPLE WITH GIGI'S
TO ADVANCED DEGREES BURYAN
SOCIAL ECONOMIC BACKGROUNDS. AND
MY PERSONAL FAVORITE IS DOES
THAT SOMETIMES NEEDED A SECOND
CHANCE AT LIFE IN THE AMERICAN
DREAM. SO AS YOU AS WE CONTINUE
TO ASK ABOUT PROGRESS REBEKAH
AGAIN I DON'T WANT THIS TO TURN
INTO LAW ALL RANCHERIA THAT'S
NOT WHAT IT IS SIR. ALL BUT I DO
BELIEVE THAT WE ARE MAKING STEPS
BACKWARDS AS WE CONTINUE TO BE
SO INNOVATIVE WHILE LEAVING. THE
OTHER TWO HUNDRED PLUS THOUSAND
MEN AND WOMEN THAT WORK DIRECTLY
IN THIS INDUSTRY. BOTH UNION AND
NONUNION. WITHOUT A VOICE
BECAUSE OUR INDUSTRY IS CHANGING
RAPIDLY THEY WERE NOT GIVING
PEOPLE THE TOOLS NECESSARY TO
MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ACHIEVING
THAT POVERTY. IN NATURAL POVERTY
THAT'S WHAT WE NEED TO BE
THINKING ABOUT. YEAH THAT'S ALL
I HAVE. AND I ON SOUL. AGAIN AND
I CAN THANK YOU GUYS ENOUGH FOR
THIS OP. YEAH WELL THANK TYSON A
- M. WAS COVERED FEW THINGS YOU
REYES IN AND MAYBE A COUPLE
QUESTIONS IN ONE- THANK YOU FOR
YOUR PERSONAL WORK IN AND YOUR
INDUSTRY. START WITH MY WIFE'S
BIRTHPLACE IN BAKERSFIELD AND-
AND THEN- UP BEYOND WRITING
EITHER ONE OF THEM. HE SAID A
LOT OF IMPORTANT THINGS ONE IS
NOT THE ENEMY RIGHT AND I THINK
IF WE- APPROACHES CONVERSATION-
NOT WITH THAT MYSELF REPORTS
CONVERSATION OF YOU KNOW HEY
WE'RE FIGHTING YOU KNOW FIGHTING
THE ENEMY- THEN WE'RE NOT GOING
TO. KNOW WHAT'S GONNA CHU THEIR
GOALS AND SO I THINK THAT I
REALLY APPRECIATE YOU BRINGING
THAT UP AND- REMINDING US THAT.
YOU AND YOUR CO WORKERS ARE OUT
THERE AS YOU SAY TWENTY FOUR
SEVEN DOING THE HARD WORK KEEPER
ECONOMY. HUMMING AND M. N. N. AT
THAT AND YOUR POINT IS THERE IS
A MISMATCH RIGHT WERE STILL
CONSUMING WAY WAY MORE THAN WE
CAN PRODUCE HERE AND- BUT YOU
KNOW IT'S YOUR FOLKS WHO ARE OUT
THERE BEEN DOING THAT HARD WORK-
TO BUILD OUR STATE AND BUILD.
OUR ECONOMY AND- IN TWO ONE
APPRECIATE THE- THAT WORK-
NUMBER- YOU KNOW NUMBER TWO WHEN
YOU TALK ABOUT RED TAPE AND
BUREAUCRACY- YOU KNOW THAT'S
SOMETHING THAT. IS I THINK
REALLY ON US AS THE LEGISLATURE
TO. ADDRESS KIND OF ACROSS THE
BOARD I MEAN WE'VE IN MY OFFICER
TO LIGHT UP BUILD. BUILD CLEAN
FASTER AND YOU MENTIONED THERE'S
GOOD PROJECTS WITH THE OFFSHORE
WIND WEATHER B. MISSION PROJECTS
YOU KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT- MOVING
AS YOU CROSS STATE WE CAN'T DO
IT NOW NEARLY TO LEVEL WE NEED.
TO MEET ANY OF THOSE GOALS
UNLESS WE BUILD A LOT MORE
TRANSMISSION. IN SO THAT THAT IT
READ VERY MUCH RESONATES I THINK
WITH ME AND I KNOW WITH OTHER
FOLKS. WHO ALL TOO BRIEF WITH
WHO COULDN'T BE HERE FROM THE
COMMITTEE. AND IN SO- YOU KNOW
OBVIOUSLY MAKING SURE WE HAVE
THAT. THE YOU KNOW THERE ARE MIL
SAFE COURSES SUCH IN PLACE BUT-
BUT WE CAN'T TO SLOW DOWN THESE
PROJECTS. NOT TO THE POINT THAT
THAT- YOU DON'T WHERE THEY JUST
BECOMING FEASIBLE THAT WE MISS
OUT ON ALL THESE OPPORTUNITIES
SO- I APPRECIATE THAT. AS WELL-
AND THEN YOU MENTIONED THE BIO
REFINERY SEWERS ADAM PROCESS YOU
GUYS ARE WORKING TO- IS THAT
THAT IS THE PLAN AND TO CONVERT
PART OF THAT TO BUY REFINERY.
YES SIR A SIMILAR BETTER
ACTUALLY WATCHES FOR JUSTICE
REFINERY. AND WHAT A WHAT A
MAJOR UNDERTAKING TO BE A WORLD
LEADER TO MODELS IT HERE AND-
COSTA COUNTY CALIFORNIA. WE ARE
GOING TO BE COMPLETELY ALL ALSO
FREE. HERE BY TWENTY TWENTY FOUR
OBVIOUSLY ALL PENDING SUCCESSFUL
PERMITTING WHICH WE ARE STILL
AWAITING. THE PERMITS FOR MORE
LOCAL LATER DISTRICT WHICH I
HAVE SHARED HAS CONTINUED TO BE
A- A RED TAPE INTO A PROJECT
THAT. WILL EMPLOYEE NOT ONLY THE
THREE HUNDRED MEN AND. WOMEN
THAT I REPRESENTED THE STREETS.
BUT TO GIVE ALL ALL OVER
THOUSAND BUILDINGS IN TRADES
CAN. WORKERS THE OPPORTUNITY TO
BUILD THIS FACILITY FOR US FOR
THE NEXT COUPLE YEARS. YEAH THIS
IS THIS IS ALL AN AMAZING
OPPORTUNITY TO BE AT THE
FOREFRONT BE REALLY. A WORLD
LEADER WHAT MODEL OF WHAT I
BELIEVE REAL CHAMP TRANSITION
COULD LOOK LIKE FOR ENERGY AND
FOSSIL FUEL WORKERS. ALSO THAT
IS CURRENTLY TAKING PLACE IN AND
I'M SO GRATEFUL FOR YOUR
COMMENTS ON THE- THE PERMITTING
STUFF IS THAT I KNOW THAT OUR
AMBITIONS ARE TO DO THE RIGHT
THINGS. WHEN I HEAR ARMY. SURE
MEETING ANNOUNCED AND FINANCIAL
PLANS FOR CORPORATIONS AND
BUSINESSES THAT WE WORK WITH
OPTIONS TO WORKERS TRADES. PARK
ABOUT CALIFORNIA'S REGULATORY
ENVIRONMENTS OF THE BUSINESSES
THERE. WHAT IS THE REGULATORY
ENVIRONMENT THAT CONTINUES TO
GET DELAYED OFFER OTHER FUTURE
INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES AND
THAT COULD INCLUDE CARBON
CAPTURE SEQUESTRATION OFFSHORE
WIND. CURRENTLY OUR REFINERY IN
OUR COMPANY PHILLIPS SIXTY SIX
IS LOOKING AT MAKING MODEL. I
AREAS LARGER. LOS WERE FIELD
PROJECTS WHAT OFTEN EIGHTY.
CONTINUE TO HAVE RED TAPE THROWN
FROM EXTREMIST GROUPS. AND I
JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND IT BECAUSE
NOT ONLY IS IT AFFECTING CAPITAL
INVESTMENT IN CALIFORNIA. BUT IT
COMES AT A COST TO THE MEN AND
WOMEN THAT WORK BUILD AND
OPERATE THESE FACILITIES. BY
PREVIEW THAT AND I'M SURE THOSE
GROUPS ARE JUST TRYING TO DO
WHAT THEY THINK IS RIGHT BUT- I
THINK THE KEY THING IS BALANCE
RIGHT WE HAVE TO BALANCE- AND-
AND- AND CAN WE JUST CAN'T WITH
THE BUREAUCRACY RED TAPE- YOU
KNOW JUST HOLD US UP- IT
DEFINITELY FROM FROM MEETING
THESE- THESE GOALS AND KEEP
PEOPLE EMPLOYED TO. I APPRECIATE
THAT AND- AND YOU KNOW I
CONFIDENCE THAT AS YOU FOR
WINNING A LOT OF STEEL WORKERS
IN IN ONSHORE AND OFFSHORE WIND
IN HYDROGEN. IN IN BOTH CARBON
CAPTURE AND THEN CARBON REMOVAL
WHICH CAN PEOPLE TO REMEMBER
THOSE ARE VERY DIFFERENT THINGS
BUT AS OUR STATE LOOKS MORE
DIRECT AIR CAPTURE TECHNOLOGIES
THAT ARE- THAT ARE- THAT ARE.
ALREADY WORKING OTHER PARTS OF
THE WORLD IN WHICH GOING TO
BRING DOWN THE COST OF IT-
THAT'S ALSO SOMETHING THAT WE
WANT HERE IN CALIFORNIA. THOSE
JUDGE RECTOR CAPTURE AND OTHER
LARGER FIRMS WILL NEED A LOT OF
STEEL WORKER SO APPRECIATE THAT
I APPRECIATE YOU AND HIM. BOTH
BEING HERE AND SHARING YOUR
VIEWS THANK YOU TO SAM. AS WELL
FOR THAT GREAT. OVERVIEW I. TO
MOVE ON TO. THE FINAL SPEAKERS
WE HERE TODAY WE'RE MISSING WE-
GOING TO HAVE REPRESENT FROM.
SCALE DEVELOPMENT POWER
DEVELOPMENT AS WELL- BEEN FORTY
THERE WAS A MISCOMMUNICATION WE
JUST SCHEDULING- STUFF SO WE
CAN'T HAVE THAT FROM THE UTILITY
SCALE. I'M VERY LUCKY TO HAVE
RICK BROWN'S WHEN I DON'T FOR
MANY YEAR HIS CHAIR THE BOARD
FOR TERRA VERDE. LLC WHICH HAS
BEEN VERY ACTIVE ON A NUMBER OF
CLEAN ENERGY EFFORTS IN
CALIFORNIA INCLUDING
IMPLEMENTATION OF PROP. THIRTY
NINE WHICH WE DON'T TALK A LOT
ABOUT TODAY BUT IT'S LED TO A
LOT OF CLEAN ENERGY PROJECTS
PARTICULARLY IN SCHOOLS. AND SO
LET ME BRING RICK UP AND RICK
PLEASE. GO AHEAD AND TALK TO US
ABOUT. WHAT WHAT YOU DO AND YOU
KNOW HOW YOU SEE. THIS THE ISSUE
OF GOOD CLEAN JOBS FROM YOUR
PERSPECTIVE. THANK SENATOR A
BACKER LUMIA GET MY SLIDES UP
HERE. NO LONGER HERE FROM THE
BEGINNING- I WANT TO THANK YOU
YOU'VE BEEN A CHAMPION. IN
PROMOTING CLEAN ENERGY JOBS FOR
MANY MANY YEARS PRIOR TO YOUR-
TIME IN IN THE STATE SENATE AND-
I DID IT I'M JUST REALLY GLAD.
ISSUE NOW ARE YOU CAN TAKE SOME
OF THE LEADERSHIP AND THE
KNOWLEDGE THAT YOU GAIN FROM
THAT WORK IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR
AND BRING IT INTO THE
LEGISLATURE. YOU JUST A LITTLE
BACKGROUND ON ME I I'M- AS AS AS
CENTER SAID- THE CHAIRMAN OF. A
COMPANY CALLED TERRY VERITY
ENERGY- A LITTLE BIT OF MY
BACKGROUND AFTER THIRTY YEARS AS
A COMMUNITY ORGANIZER AND
ORGANIZATIONAL STRATEGY
CONSULTING WITH PUBLIC AGENCIES
AND NONPROFITS. INCLUDING THE
CALIFORNIA SCHOOL EMPLOYEES
ASSOCIATION CALPERS KAISER
PERMANENTE A BARK ORDERS JUSTICE
IN MANY SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND
LOCAL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES. IN
TWO THOUSAND SIX I DECIDED TO
MOVE IN TO WORKING EXCLUSIVELY
ON CLEAN ENERGY AFTER BEING
ALARMED ABOUT THE CLIMATE
EMERGENCY. BUT I LEARNED ABOUT
THROUGH MY WORK WITH A NONPROFIT
OR ITS JUSTICE. THE TWO THOUSAND
SIX I WAS INVOLVED IN STARTING
UP THE VERY FIRST COMPANY TO
OFFER COMMERCIAL SOLAR. PROJECT
PPA FINANCING AND IN TWO
THOUSAND AND NINE. I A LEFT TO
FOUND. VERDE WHICH SUPPORTS
SCHOOLS OTHER PUBLIC AGENCIES IN
IMPLEMENTING SORT THEIR
FACILITIES- I'D ALSO BEEN A
SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER IN THE
NINETIES THE NEW FIRSTHAND THE
CHALLENGES THAT SCHOOLS FACE.
VALUE AND THE BENEFITS AND
IMPLEMENTING NEW FACILITY
INITIATIVES. SINCE TWO THOUSAND
NINE. HE'S HELPED IMPLEMENT
SOLAR AND OVER THREE HUNDRED AND
FIFTY SCHOOLS. A HUNDRED PUBLIC
AGENCIES UP- SOLAR AND MORE
RECENTLY BATTERY STORAGE AND
THIS IS RESULTING IN. MILLIONS
OF TONNES OF REDUCE GHG
EMISSIONS. FINANCIAL SAVINGS OF
OVER SIXTY MILLION DOLLARS FOR
THOSE SCHOOLS AND PUBLIC
AGENCIES AND OVER A THOUSAND
PREVAILING WAGE JOBS ALL OF OUR
PROJECTS. ARE PREVAILING WAGE
JOBS AND THE VAST MAJORITY OF
THESE PROJECTS ARE IN THE
COMMUNITIES THAT SERVED. A
DISADVANTAGED. AND LOW INCOME
COMMUNITIES. KEYS TO THE PAIR
SUCCESS. I HAVE WELL KNOWN.
THINGS LIKE TO REDUCTION THE
COST SOLAR PANELS AND OTHER
SUPPLIES. RUBIK'S SOME
IMPROVEMENTS IN PERMITTING AND
CONSTRUCTION TRUSTEES ALTHOUGH I
WOULD AGREE WITH OUR PREVIOUS
SPEAKER THAT WE COULD DO A LOT
MORE AROUND SOME OF THAT RED
TAPE. POLICY SUPPORT A SUPPORT
ESPECIALLY PROP THIRTY NINE AND
SENATE BACK TO MENTION THE CLEAN
GENERATE ENERGY JOBS ACTS- AND
ALSO REDUCTIONS IN THE COST OF
CAPITAL. ONE OF THE LESSER KNOWN
IMPACTS OF JERRY BROWN'S AND THE
LEGISLATURE SUCCESS IN BALANCING
THE STATE BUDGET IN TWO THOUSAND
TWELVE. WASN'T REDUCTION IN THE
COST OF PUBLIC FINANCE MMHM
WITHOUT THAT. A GOOD NUMBER
PUBLIC AGENCY SEWER PROJECTS
WOULD EITHER VENTILATOR NEVER
HAPPENED. MMHM AS A RESULT OF
ALL THESE FACTORS OVER TO TWENTY
EIGHT HUNDRED SCHOOLS IN
CALIFORNIA NOW HAVE SOLAR. AND
SMALL AND GROWING NUMBER AND
BATTERY STORAGE. SO LET'S BRING
IT UP TO THE PRESENT. SORRY I
HAVEN'T BEEN- MY SLIGHTLY. HERE
WE GO TO THE PRESENT- WITH A
SOMEWHAT SURPRISING PASSAGE OF
THE- AS OUR SPEAKER SET UP- IRA
THE PLACE REDUCTION ACT THIS
SUMMER. MANY IN THE CLEAN ENERGY
COMMUNITY AND ESPECIALLY IN THE
MEDIA BELIEVE THAT THIS WILL
HERALD A NEW ERA. IN THE GROWTH
OF CLEAN ENERGY AND THE
ACCOMPANYING HIGH VALUE JOBS.
WHILE THIS MAY BE TRUE IN
UTILITY SCALE SECTOR THERE ARE
SEVERAL OBSTACLES IMPACTING
CLEAN ENERGY PROJECT DEVELOPMENT
CALIFORNIA'S COMMERCIAL SECTOR.
ESPECIALLY SCHOOLS THAT WILL
ACTUALLY RESULT IN A SIGNIFICANT
REDUCTION IN PROJECTS AND A LOSS
OF TENS OF THOUSANDS OF JOBS
ACROSS THE STATE. SPECIFICALLY
THESE OBSTACLES INCLUDES THE
CALIFORNIA PUBLIC UTILITY
COMMISSIONS CURRENT NET METERING
THAT BILLING PROPOSAL. WHICH IF
IMPLEMENTED AS PROPOSED REDUCE
THE VALUE OF SOLAR EXPORTS BY
CLOSE 280% THIS HIT SCHOOLS HARD
BECAUSE CLOSE TO HALF OF THE
ECONOMIC VALUE OF SOLAR FOR THE
SCHOOL'S OCCURS DURING THE
SUMMER LATE AFTERNOONS AND
WEEKENDS WHEN THEY'RE LOS DROP
OFF AND YOU'RE ABLE TO SUPPORT
TO EXPORT CLEAN. LOW COST ENERGY
TO THE GRID. IF THIS IS A
DECISION GOES THROUGH THE VALUE
OF THOSE EXPORTS IT'S GOING TO
GO DOWN AS HE SAID EIGHTY
PERCENT. MAKING THOSE PROJECTS
NO LONGER FEASIBLE. NOW IT AREA
BALLOT BATTERY SUPPLY- SHE
EXPLAINED. SUPPLY INJURED
ACTUALLY SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES.
ARE WELL KNOWN- BUT ANOTHER
OBSTACLE ISN'T THE VALUE BATTERY
STORAGE TO SCHOOLS AND THE GRID.
IS LIMITED BY CBC REGULATIONS.
THAT LIMIT THEIR ABILITY TO
EXPORT SOLAR GENERATED ENERGY
THAT'S STORED IN THE AFTERNOON.
AND PUT IT ON THE GRID IN THE
EVENING. THEY CAN ONLY. USE FROM
THAT BATTERY THAT ELECTRICITY
THAT- SAYS THEIR LOCAL SCHOOLS
DON'T HAVE LOAD IN THE EVENING
BY THE WAY WHEN THE GRID NEEDS
THAT POWER WHEN WE HAVE A SUPPLY
DEMAND IMBALANCE- AND SO THEY
CAN'T GET THAT BENEFIT ECONOMIC
. SO LET'S MOVE ON. TO THE-
WHERE WE ARE TODAY A LITTLE BIT
MORE ABOUT WE'RE RICHER A INTO
THE FUTURE. A LITTLE BIT BEHIND
MY SLIDE START ALL ALL ALL ALL
MAKE THESE AVAILABLE. THE TOUR
CONSULTANT HERE. THAT SAID.
SCHOOLS AND OTHER PUBLIC
AGENCIES WHO UNDERSTAND THAT THE
CQC'S PROPOSED DECISION WILL
DECIMATE THE SOLAR MARKET IN THE
FUTURE. ARE RUSHING TO COMPLETE
INTERCONNECTION APPLICATIONS
BEFORE THE LIKELY APRIL TWENTY
TWENTY THREE DEADLINE TO BE
ELIGIBLE UNDER CURRENT NET
METERING TWO POINT OH RULES SO
FOR THE NEXT EIGHTEEN TO TWENTY
FOUR MONTHS THERE WILL LIKELY
CONTINUE TO BE MEANINGFUL
PROJECT DEVELOPMENT. AND
MEANINGFUL PREVAILING WAGE SHOPS
BUT WITH THIS DECISION. IF IT
GOES INTO PLACE AND THE CPC IS
GOING TO BE REASONABLY MAKING
DECISION ON DECEMBER FIFTEENTH I
AM CONFIDENT THAT THESE CLEANING
CLEAN ENERGY JOBS WILL FALL OFF
THE CLIFF. BY THE SUMMER AND
FALL OF TWENTY TWENTY FOUR LET
ME GIVE AN EXAMPLE. WE HAVE A
SCHOOL DISTRICT SCHOOL PROJECT
THAT'S UNDER NET METERING TWO
POINT NO THEY GOT THAT THEY GOT
IN UNDER THE GRANDFATHERED. IN
THERE GONNA HAVE A POSITIVE NET
CASH FLOW IN THEIR FIRST YEAR OF
OPERATION OF ABOUT FORTY FIVE
THOUSAND DOLLARS. BUT IF THIS
DECISION AND APPLY TO THEM. THEY
WOULD HAVE A NEGATIVE CASH FLOW
OF FIFTY SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS
IN THAT YEAR. AND A NEGATIVE
CASH FLOW FOR MANY YEARS
THEREAFTER. OVER TWENTY YEARS
THE TOTAL SAVINGS UNDER THE
PROPOSED DECISION COMPARED TO
BEING UNDER THAT NET METERING TO
CORNELL. WHATEVER IT WOULD
RESULT IN SEVEN HUNDRED SEVENTY
FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS A MONTH
STATE. WE FOUND SIMILAR. IMPACTS
AND WATER AGENCIES PROJECT. NOW
OVER THE PAST THIRTEEN YEARS WE
WORK WITH OVER FIVE HUNDRED
SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND OTHER
PUBLIC AGENCIES INVOLVING OVER
THREE THOUSAND BUILDINGS AND
FACILITIES WHO ARE CONSIDERING
IMPLEMENTING SOLAR. AND ONE
CLOSE TO A HUNDRED THESE
ORGANIZATIONS ADVENTURING
IMPLEMENTED SOLAR AT OVER THE
FOUR HUNDRED FIFTY BUILDINGS I
TALKED ABOUT. AND MANY SOME MANY
MORE RECENTLY HAVE ADDED BAD
BATTERY STORAGE. I CAN
CONFIDENTLY SAY THAT ONLY ONE OF
THOSE HUNDRED SCHOOL DISTRICTS
IMPLEMENTED A PROJECT. THAT
RESULTED IN AN INCREASE IN THE
COST OF THEIR ENERGY WHERE
THEY'RE LOSING MONEY ON THEIR
SEWER PROJECTS. THIS IS WHY I
BELIEVE THAT THE CQC'S CURRENT
PROPOSED DECISION IS APPROVED AS
CURRENTLY DESIGNED IT WILL STOP.
ANY GROWTH OF SOLAR AT PUBLIC
FACILITIES IN CALIFORNIA I WILL
LEAD TO A MASSIVE LOSS OF HIGH
VALUE CLEAN ENERGY JOBS. OKAY I
WOULD LEAVE YOU WITH A LITTLE
BIT OF GOOD NEWS. THERE ARE NOW
OVER TWENTY HUNDRED OPERATING
SOLAR PLANTS AT SCHOOLS IN
CALIFORNIA AND ANOTHER THOUSAND
OR SO AND OTHER LOCAL GOVERNMENT
FACILITY. AND THESE WILL REQUIRE
SKILLED TECHNICIANS RIGHT ONE
GOING OPERATIONS IN MAINE
SUPPORT. WE ARE WE ARE DOING
THAT WORK AT OUR COMPANY WITH
OVER THREE HUNDRED FIFTY SITES
AND THESE ARE ALL PREVAILING
WAGE HIGH VALUE JOBS. FINALLY
WITH INCREASING VULNERABILITY
THE GRID DUE TO CLIMATE INDUCED
WILDFIRES- AND LACK OF THE
LATEST- AND THE FACT THAT THE
LEGISLATURE HAS RECENTLY MADE
INVESTMENTS IN FUNDING
DISTRIBUTED ENERGY BACKUP
RESOURCES. WITH PROPER
INCENTIVES THERE ARE TWO
THOUSAND PLUS SCHOOLS WERE
BATTERY COULD BE ADDED. IN THE
CITY PROVIDING A SIGNAL THAT
AMOUNT A BACKUP CAPABILITY TO
SUPPORT BOTH THE GRID DURING
HIGH STRESS PERIODS. AND TO
PROVIDE RESILIENCE RESILIENCE
FOR CRITICAL SERVICES. IN THE
COMMUNITY. THAT SAID THE NUMBER
OF JOBS ASSOCIATED WITH
OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE AND
WITH THESE BATTERY INSTALLATIONS
IS MINUSCULE. COMPARED TO WHAT
WE WOULD HAVE WITHOUT THE
OBSTACLES THE CALLOUS OF
CALIFORNIA SOLAR MARKET THEY
FACE IN COMING YEARS. PRIMARILY
FROM THE CPC DECISION. I WANT TO
THANK YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY
AND I HOPE. ARE YOU AND OTHERS
WHO ARE LISTENING WILL TAKE THE
OPPORTUNITY SELECT THE GOVERNOR
AND THE C. P. C. NOTE WHAT THE
IMPLICATIONS ARE IF THIS
DECISION GOES THROUGH. ONE I
VALUE PREVAILING WAGE JOBS IN
CALIFORNIA. THANK YOU RICK I AM.
THAT'S REALLY NEWS TO ME ABOUT I
THINK GOING TO FOCUS ON ROOFTOP
THING ABOUT RESIDENTS ROOFTOP
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. SCHOOLS
AND PUBLIC AGENCIES AND WHAT
COULD HAPPEN THERE AND YOU SAY.
THERE'S TWENTY THOUSAND SO
INSTALLATIONS NOW SCHOOLS IN
CALIFORNIA. EIGHT HUNDRED
SCHOOLS THERE'S ELEVEN THOUSAND
SCHOOLS IN CALIFORNIA TWENTY
EIGHT HUNDRED CURRENTLY HAVE
SOLAR. I'M I'M GUESSING WE'LL
GET ANOTHER TWO OR THREE HUNDRED
AND THE NEXT YEAR TOO. AS THEY
RUSH TO GET IN UNDER THE CURRENT
NET METERING RULES WHERE THEY BE
GRANDFATHERED BUT AFTER THAT.
YEAH YEAH. WHO'S CAN'T AFFORD.
TO LOSE MONEY RIGHT ARE
PROJECTS. THAT JUST THE AND THE
CBC. IS DOING THEIR ANALYSIS
BASED ON QUOTE UNQUOTE PAY BACK.
MEANING THE ASSUMPTION THAT WELL
MAYBE YOU'RE GONNA LOSE MONEY IN
THE FIRST SEVEN EIGHT NINE TEN
YEARS BUT EVENTUALLY. YOU'LL PAY
BACK THIS PROJECT SCHOOLS CAN'T
DO PUBLIC AGENCIES CAN DO. THEIR
BOARDS WON'T LET THEM THE
COUNCIL'S WILL LET THEM KNOW
PUBLIC SUBMIT. RIGHT HE'S
PROJECT HAS TO BE ASKED THAT'S
WHY THEY SAID. YOU KNOW WE WORK
WITH SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND PUBLIC
AGENCIES WE GIVE THEM THE TRUTH
WE TELL. UNDER IN YOUR SITUATION
MAYBE YOU'LL SAVE MONEY MAYBE IT
WON'T BUT IF YOU DON'T YOU KNOW
WE CAN DO AN ANALYSIS EVEN UNDER
CURRENT REGULATIONS. THAT WILL
TELL THEM WHETHER THEY'LL SAVE
MONEY LOOK IF WE KEPT THE
CURRENT NET METERING RULES OR
SOMETHING CLOSE TO IT FOR
SCHOOLS AND PUBLIC AGENCIES AND
WE HAD THE INFLATION REDUCTION
ACT. WHICH IS AN INCREASE THE
VALUE OF TAX CREDITS YOU WOULD
SEE DEFINITELY SEE AN INCREASE.
BYE BUT EVEN WITH THE IRATE IN
THIS NET METERING RULE GOES
THROUGH. FORGET IT FOR JOBS. IT
IN THIS PART IN THIS SECTOR
PUBLIC SECTOR- PREVAILING WAGE
JOBS FEDERAL IS THAT BECOME BY
DEFINITION ALL THIS THE SCHOOL
IN PUBLICATION SEES. JOBS ARE
PREVAILING WAGE JOBS YES. AND
JUST TO LET YOU KNOW WHEN WE SIT
DOWN WITH A SCHOOL DISTRICT AND
SAY HOW DO YOU WANT TO DO THIS
PROCUREMENT. WE ALWAYS RAISE THE
ISSUE YOU WANNA GO BEYOND
PREVAILING WAY. RIGHT DO YOU
WANNA DO YOU WANNA. BY HIGHER
STANDARDS SOMETIMES THEY DECIDE
TO DO THAT AND THEY PUT THAT IN
THERE ARE P. SOMETIMES THEY
DON'T WE DON'T GET TO DECIDE.
WE'RE WE'RE WE'RE WORKING FOR
THAT. AT A MINIMUM THEY ARE
PREVAILED WAGE JOB. THAT'S RIGHT. OKAY WELL THANK AND THEN AND
YOU SAID- THOUSAND VALUE OF YOUR
THAT YOU FOR FROM ALONE IS GOING
TO THOUSAND. PREVAILING WAGE
JOBS IS PRESENT RESTORED YEAH
BASED YOU KNOW WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT OVERALL FOUR HUNDRED FIFTY
PROJECTS WHEN I SAY A THOUSAND
JOBS. THAT'S A THOUSAND
CONSTRUCTION JOBS- MANY JOBS
BEYOND THAT HAVING TO DO WITH.
ENGINEERING ISSUE NO ENGINEERING
SALES ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF. OF
THE COMPANIES THAT- YOU KNOW OUR
SUSHI WITH THIS I'M TALKING
ABOUT THE ACTUAL CONSTRUCTION
JOBS. YEP YEP. SIX HUNDRED
DOLLARS OF. FOR THE LAST TEN
ELEVEN YEARS. YEAH THE GOOD WILL
THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT TO
ATTENTION I THINK WE YOU KNOW
IF. IF THEY'RE STILL- ANOTHER.
EIGHT THOUSAND PLUS SCHOOLS THAT
COULD. BUY SOLAR YOU KNOW HAVE
SOLAR AND HAVE A SORE AND
STORAGE- AND CREATE GOOD PAYING
JOBS I THINK WE WANT TO. THAT'S
SOMETHING WE SHOULD BE
ENCOURAGING NOT DISCOURAGING SO.
I APPRECIATE YOU BRINGING THAT
ATTENTION YOU BRING THAT TO ME-
AND A AND THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS
WILL BE FOLLOWING UP WITH AFTER
THIS SO- THANK YOU. I JUST WANNA
SAY HIGH SCHOOL ENERGY
COALITION. HAS PUT THE LETTER
OUT AS OF YESTERDAY I'LL SEND
THAT TO THE COMMITTEE. THAT
INCLUDES MANY SCHOOL DISTRICTS
AND OTHER ENTITIES SUPPORTING
SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE DETAINED
PROVIDING MORE DETAIL ON THIS
AND WHAT OUR RECOMMENDATIONS ARE
TO. THE CPC WE TRY TO GET TO SEE
HE'S ATTENTION FOR THE LAST TEN
MONTHS- M. S. RESPONSE FAR. I'LL
SEND YOU THAT LETTER OKAY. THANK
YOU. WELL BEFORE WE ARE MOVED TO
MOVE TO A COMMENT- PUBLIC
COMMENT FIRST HERE IN THE ROOM.
JUST A COUPLE THINGS TO. TO WRAP
UP ON THE TESTIMONY PREVIOUSLY I
THINK FROM TIM ENTICING MY- TEAM
RISE TO THAT THAT. THEY'LL SEE
AFFECTS OUR LOW CARBON FUEL
STANDARD- DOES GIVE STRONG
SIGNALS FOR LOW CARBON FUELS
SUCH AS BIOFUELS AND SO WE WILL
NEED MORE OF THAT IN THAT. WE'RE
PUSHING HARD FOR MORE
SUSTAINABLE AVIATION FUEL-
BECAUSE EFFICIENT MERRY WELL
EDUCATION IS VERY UNLIKELY SO
HAVE A LONG TERM NEED FOR BIO
FUELS. LAKE THE FUELS THAT YOU
WERE TALKING ABOUT. SURE I
WANTED TO RAISE THAT IN AND-
AGAIN REFERENCE TO IN REFERENCE
TO BE BOTH WHAT TIM TYSON SAID
THAT- YOU KNOW IT'S EASY FOR US
ALL RIGHT JUST TRANSITION I
THINK WHAT I HEAR FOR FRIENDS
LIVES WE JUST WANT. A GOOD JOBS
AND THAT'S REALLY WHAT WERE THE
WHOLE GOAL OF THIS THIS HEARING
IS- SUPPORTERS OF PUBLIC
COMMITTEE TIM SOMEONE TOO MANY
ELSE YOU WANNA SAY. IN
REFLECTIONS ANY OTHER.
SUBSEQUENT- SUBSEQUENT TESTIMONY. THANK YOU SENATOR I JUST LIKE
TO JUST REITERATE THAT BACK THEN
I MEAN IT'S THE JOB AND IF WE-
IF WE ALLOW THE WORK FORCE THE
DESIRE TO. TO DETERMINE WE'RE
GOOD ENOUGH THAT THEY DID
WORKFORCE COMEY FINE. IN THE WE
DON'T IF WE DON'T HAVE A
CONVERSATION WITH THE WORKFORCE
IN THE POLICIES WERE PUTTING OUT
AND- IT WAS SUPPORTING IT. ARE
GOING TO HELP THEM WE CAN'T SAY
THAT WE'RE DOING THINGS TO HELP
THE COMEDIAN WE HAVEN'T SPOKE TO
THE COMMUNITY. THAT WE'RE SAYING
WE'RE GOING TO. REACH OUT TO
HELP AND SUPPORT SO. I
APPRECIATE THE CONVERSATIONS I
KNOW THAT OTHERS HOW THINGS
HAPPEN THE CARD TO CONVERSATIONS
THAT. ARE GOING FORWARD- BUT I'D
ALSO LIKE TO PLAY THAT WE DON'T.
LOOK AT ONE AVENUE ON A JUST
WE'RE GOING TO GO FORWARD JUST
USING FOR EXAMPLE. D. E. V.
MARKET LOOKING AT JESS I LEGEND
VEHICLES ARE NOT CONSIDERING FOR
EXAMPLE HYDROGEN. IS LOOKING AT
IF MY HUSBAND IS ONE WHAT
HAPPENED YOU'RE LOOKING WELL.
RUN DOWN THAT ROAD IS LOOKING AT
ONE. INTERVIEW SOLUTION FOR WHAT
WE HAVE IS THE HEAD OF US WERE.
CALIFORNIA RESILIENT AS AS YOU
SAID BEFORE WORK. YOU KNOW
BEETHOVEN WOULD TECHNOLOGY
TECHNOLOGY DRIVEN AND NOT. ADEPT
WITH CONVERSATIONS WITH THE
WORKFORCE KNOWS THAT OUR
POLICYMAKERS KNOWS OR A RIPOFF.
INVESTORS HOW TO MAKE IT HAPPEN
THANK YOU SIR YEP THANK YOU. AND
I KNOW YOU BUT I'VE NEVER
COLLEAGUES AT THAT AGREE WITH
YOU ON THE HYDROGEN FRONT OF
GIVE ME RIDES IN THEIR IN. THEIR
HYDROGEN VEHICLES. WE APPRECIATE
THAT OVERALL THE POINT ABOUT WE
NEED TO BE. TO COME. WITH
WORKERS AND APPRECIATE BOTH YOU
AND- IT YOU TO AN- AND HERE- I
APPRECIATE THAT WE HEARD- AT
PREVENTIVE TO DO G. D- THE D. WE
- PROGRAMS THAT REALLY
INCORPORATED WORKER VOICE I
THINK THAT'S CAN BE VERY
IMPORTANT TO GO FORWARD. SURE
I'LL SEE WHEN I LASTING FOR MOVE
TO PUBLIC COMMENT I WAS LOOKING
FOR ME TO BRING THIS UP BUT-
TWENTY OF KNOWN RICK LONG BUT
NOT NOT THIS LONG BUT- WHEN I
WAS LOOKING BACK AT OUR- THAT
CLEAN TECH FOR OBAMA- MEMOS-
AND- WE REALLY GALVANIZED A LOT
OF THE FOLKS IN THAT TWO
THOUSAND EIGHT ELECTION AND- ONE
OF MY- THE FOLDERS I WAS LOOKING
THROUGH AND I HAD MY GREEN JOBS.
A MEETING OF THE CENTER FOR
AMERICAN PROGRESS THING BACK IN
TWO THOUSAND EIGHT SO- THIS IS
BEEN A CONVERSATION FOR A LONG
TIME. AND AND I THINK YOU KNOW
FROM HONEST ABOUT EVERYTHING
BACK IF HE FIFTEEN YEARS AGO I
THINK PROBABLY THAT. TALK ABOUT
GREEN JOBS WITH THE HIGH
PROBABLY EXCEEDED THE REALITY-
BUT I THINK NOW IS WERE LOOKING
ACROSS. ALL THESE DIFFERENT
SPHERES BUT FROM UTILITY SCALE.
TO AGAIN SEE IF FROM A
HEIGHTENED KNOW SOLAR AND WIND-
THE- BUT HOMELESS FOR CATION SO
THE JOBS HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT
TO- THESE OTHER NEW AREAS WITH
THE OFFSHORE WIND WHETHER IT BE-
CARBON REMOVAL AND CARBON
CAPTURE ALL THESE OTHER AREAS.
THAT AND THE- GREEN JOBS REALLY
ARE THERE. ON A CROSS- MANY NEW.
TECHNOLOGIES THAT ARE COMING UP
IN THE CLEAN SPACE SO. FUND
REFLECT BACK ON THAT- INVITE-
FOLKS IN THE ROOM FOR A-
COMMENT- SOONER. JUST CUT
INTEREST YOURSELF IN GO AHEAD.
HOW FORTY MINUTES WE TILT IS
SENSATION THANK YOU CENTER FOR
HOSTING THIS HEARING- WE
REPRESENT THAT PUBLICLY
ANDERLECHT UTILITIES AROUND THE
STATE THAT PROVIDE POWERED ABOUT
25% OF OUR RESIDENTS. WORKFORCE
DEVELOPMENT AS BECOMING AN
EMERGING ISSUE FOR OUR MEMBERS.
I THINK THIS HEARING REALLY
FOCUSED ON UTILITY SCALE SOLAR
GENERATION SIDE OF THINGS I URGE
YOU TO CONSIDER WHAT I WOULD
CALL THE MORE TRADITIONAL JOBS.
THAT'S LINE WORKERS THAT'S
RESOURCE PLANNERS AS ENGINEERS-
I JUST READ ONE OF OUR GENERAL
MANAGER SAID THERE'S FLAT OUT
NOT MANY PEOPLE TO HIRE IN THAT
SPACE AND WE'RE HEARING THAT
FROM OUR MEMBERS AROUND THE
STATE. THESE ARE THE MEN AND
WOMEN THAT KEEP THE POWER
FLOWING AROUND THE CLOCK SO AS
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WORKFORCE
DEVELOPMENT I THINK WE REALLY
NEED TO KEEP ON ON THE RADAR.
THOSE LINE WORKERS DOES RESOURCE
PLANNERS IN THOSE ENGINEERS
THESE ARE RELIEVED WELL PAID.
GOOD JOBS NINETY NINE POINT 7%
OF OUR MEMBERS WORK FORCE OUR
UNION THE OTHER POINT 3% PAPER
FAILING WAGED SO THESE ARE GREAT
JOBS. THIS IS STATE FAMILIES AND
THE CONTRIBUTED CALIFORNIA'S
CLIMATE GOALS SO WE ARE THINK OF
SOME IDEAS ABOUT WHAT ARE SOME
SOLUTIONS TO BRING FORTH MORE
THE JOB AND LOOK FORWARD TO
WORKING WITH YOU AND YOUR
COLLEAGUES IN THE COMING
LEGISLATIVE SESSION ON THAT.
THANK YOU FOR THAT AND THAT
THAT'S A GREAT POINT ABOUT A LOT
OF CONVERSATIONS WITH PAT BURKE.
MAYOR PALO ALTO WHERE WE HAVE A
MUNICIPAL UTILITY IN MY DISTRICT
AND WE HAD A LOT OF
CONVERSATIONS THE CITY ITSELF
CAN'T FILL. HAS MANY JOBS IT
CAN'T FILL ALONG THE LINES YOU
MENTION. AND THERE'S ACTUALLY
ONLY ONE OR TWO PROGRAMS EVEN IF
THE CSU LEVEL THAT TRAIN A
WORKERS. IN THOSE AREAS AND SO.
WE HAD A NUMBER OF CONVERSATIONS
AND HAVE TALKED ABOUT SOME NEXT
STEPS SO LOOK FOR TO FOLLOWING
UP WITH YOU ON THAT THANK YOU.
GOOD AFTERNOON MISTER CHAIR AND
COMMITTEE MY NAME IS RUSS SCHOOL
CRAYON YOUNG A FORMER VALLEJO
SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER ALSO A
MEMBER OF THE CLIMATE EMERGENCY
MOBILIZATION TASK FORCE WHICH IS
LED BY. OF MY PREVIOUS BOSS
BERKELEY COUNCILWOMAN CHERYL
DAVILA- THE TASK FORCE WAS SET
UP. A TO UNITE. AND GET ELECTED
SKINNY LEADERS THROUGHOUT THE
NINE COUNTY BAY AREA TO DECLARE
CLIMATE EMERGENCY- RESOLUTIONS-
BERKELEY DECLARED THERE'S IN
TWENTY EIGHTEEN. BY A PREVIOUS
BOSS RESPECT HEALTHCARE
PROVOCATIVE LOCALES BUT MARTINEZ
WE DECLARED- RIGHT AFTER
BERKELEY AND SINCE THE END OF
DOZENS OF LOCAL GOVERNMENTS HAVE
DECLARED EMERGENCY. WE ALSO
SUPPORT- JUST TRANSITION THERE
WAS LEGISLATION. ESPECIALLY IN
BERKELEY. WHERE IT TALKS ABOUT
WE HAVE TO INCLUDE. THE
INDIGENOUS COMMUNITY WHO ARE
UNIONS UP TO- ALL STAKEHOLDERS-
AS- IT. AND DEALING AND I
REMEMBER SPEAKING AT THE SENATE
COMMITTEE HEARING. EARLIER THIS
YEAR WERE SENATE MCGUIRE
INTRODUCE S. C. R. FIFTY THREE
DECLARE CLUB RECEIVE FOR THE
STATE WHICH IS LONG OVERDUE AT
WHICH I'M GLAD THAT THE GOVERNOR
SIGNED- WELL NOT TOO LONG AGO-
AT THE FOR THE FORMER SCHOOL
BOARD MEMBER I APPRECIATE THE
PRESENTATION FROM MISTER BROWN-
IN REGARDS TO SOLAR PANELS AT
OUR SCHOOLS- THE QUESTION I
JUST. HAD IS UP. HOW MANY OF.
LOW INCOME SCHOOL DISTRICTS HAVE
BEEN APPROACH THAT THAT HAVE THE
SOLAR PANELS IN PLACE FOR
EXAMPLE OF INVALID EMAIL- I'VE
EVER SINCE I LEFT THE SCHOOL
BOARD I HAVE NOT SEEN. A SOLAR
PANELS INSTALLED SOLVES WHAT IS
SEE IF THERE'S ANY EFFORTS TO
REACH OUT TO ALL INCOME SCHOOL
DISTRICTS LIKE THE LAYOUT- TO
COMPTON AND INGLEWOOD. AS A. WE
NEED TO MAKE SURE WE DON'T
FORGET THOSE SCHOOL DISTRICTS
AND THOSE COMMUNITIES- IT'S
GONNA TAKE ALL OF US TO COMBAT
THIS CLIMATE CRISIS. AND AN
INVESTMENT IN THESE UNDERSERVED
COMMUNITIES RETINAL ALE RICH
MEN- COMPTON INGLEWOOD. TO IN TO
HAVE. JOBS THAT- IN THIS AGE OF
JUST TRANSITION- MAKE SURE. WE
CAN GAUGE WHAT ARE STAKEHOLDERS
ARE OURS WHAT'S YOUR STEEL
WORKER- UNIONS- IN OUR APARTMENT
TWO GROUPS- BECAUSE WE ALL HAVE
IT'S GONNA TAKE ALL OF US TO
FIGHT THIS CLIMATE CRISIS. THANK
YOU. THANK YOU FOR THAT- AND- AS
YOU SAY AND THINK YOU HER WORK
ON THAT EFFORT IT IS A CRIME
EMERGENCY- AND- WE SEE THAT
EVERY DAY- NOW. IN OUR STATE AND
ACROSS THE WORLD- WITH RISING
TEMPERATURES WITH FLOODING WITH
HURRICANES- WITH ALL KINDS OF
NOW A CLIMATE RELATED DISASTERS
WILDFIRES OBVIOUSLY HERE IN OUR
STATE SO APPRECIATE BRING THAT
UP RICK- THAT'S USUALLY STILL
WITH US FOR TO DO WANT TO.
COMMENT ON THAT ABOUT REACHING
OUT TO LOWER INCOME SCHOOL
DISTRICTS. YEAH I MEAN I CAN
JUST SAY OUR COMPANY OF THE- OUR
COMMUNITY SCHOOLS THAT WE PUT IN
WHERE WE PUT IN SOLAR OVER 70%
ARE SERVING OUR LOW INCOME OR
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES THAT
THAT THAT HAS BEEN THE CASE WE
DON'T HAVE TO SCHOOLS AND
FRESNO. TULARE AND MERCED
COUNTIES AND OTHER COUNTIES IN
THE CENTRAL VALLEY AND OTHER LOW
INCOME COMMUNITIES AROUND THE
STATE. THAT SAID- YOU'RE
ABSOLUTELY RIGHT IT'S MUCH
HARDER FOR THOSE SCHOOL
DISTRICTS BECAUSE THEY HAVE THEY
HAVE LESS ACCESS TO COUNT RIGHT
THERE JUST THEY DON'T HAVE THE
MONEY. PROP THIRTY NINE HELP
WITH THAT BECAUSE IT GAVE A
LITTLE BIT OF A KICKER TO
DISTRICTS BASED ON. THEIR
ECONOMIC STATUS BUT THAT THAT
MONEY'S GONE- IF YOU'RE
INTERESTED- MY- MY CONTACT
INFORMATIONS ON MY SLIDES WHICH
I GUESS THE COMMITTEE WILL.
CONSULT WILL PUT OUT. GLAD TO
REFER YOU TO- YOU KNOW PEOPLE
WHO CAN MAYBE HELP THE DISTRICTS
RICHEST IN BUT THE OTHER REALLY
GOOD RESOURCE IS- THE SCHOOL
ENERGY COALITION. WHICH IS A
NONPROFIT THAT THAT WORKS TO
HELP SCHOOLS ACROSS THE STATE. I
FIGURE OUT HOW TO NOT JUST WITH
SOLAR AND STORAGE AND BUT ALSO
ANY ANYTHING HAVING TO DO. WITH-
IMPROVING THEIR ENERGY
EFFICIENCY THE COST OF ENERGY-
SO I ENCOURAGE YOU TO REACH OUT
TO THE SCHOOL ENERGY COALITION.
GREAT THANK YOU I DIDN'T KNOW OF
ATTACK GROUPS THAT'S- GOOD
INFORMATION WENT FREQUENTED.
PROP THIRTY NINE WHAT DID THAT
MONEY GO AWAY. IT WAS A FIVE
PRO- THE PROPER WAS. IN TWO
THOUSAND TWELVE. MONEY STARTED
FLOWING IN TWO THOUSAND THIRTEEN
AND YOU KNOW BASICALLY IT WAS
ALLOCATED OVER A FIVE YEAR
PERIOD TO TWO THOUSAND EIGHTEEN.
AND MOST OF PROJECTS WERE
COMPLETED RESULT IN ABOUT ONE
POINT SEVEN BILLION DOLLARS
GOING INTO CLEAN ENERGY PROJECTS
TO SCHOOLS IT WAS REALLY
SIGNIFICANT. A HUGE AMOUNT OF
THAT MONEY WAS ACTUALLY FOR
MECHANICAL. FOR HEATING SYSTEMS
AND COOLING SYSTEMS BECAUSE
THERE'S JUST NOT ANOTHER SOURCE
OF FUNDING FOR THAT- AND- YOU
KNOW A LOT OF THE SCHOOLS
PARTICULAR LOW INCOME SCHOOLS.
OUR SYSTEM IS OVER TWENTY FIVE
THIRTY YEARS OLD IF YOU CAN
IMAGINE I'M SURE SOME OF THE-
THE- YOU KNOW THE MECHANICAL
FOLKS ONE. OF THE CALL HERE
PEOPLE WORKING. THEY KNOW WHAT
HAPPENS AFTER TWENTY TWENTY FIVE
YEARS IN THE SYSTEM YOU SPENDING
MORE MONEY KEEPING THEM UP- AND
THEN THEN IT'S WORTH BUT- THAT
MONEY IS GONE AND YOU KNOW WE'RE
THE CACHET PROGRAM THAT. HAS
COME THROUGH IS A NEW SOURCE OF
FUNDS THAT'S COMING THROUGH THE
CC THAT'S HELPING- BUT- YOU KNOW
THE THIS INFRASTRUCTURE IS AGING
AND NEEDS CASUALLY NEED TO BE
REPLACED AND SO WE NEED TO HAVE
A MORE DEDICATED SOURCE. OF
FUNDING THERE. WITH A FOCUS ON
CLEAN ENERGY AND. THAT'S WHERE A
LOT OF THE EFFORT NOW IS TO. GUY
INCENTIVES. A HEAT PUMP TECH.
ELECT SO. WE CAN MEET OUR ENERGY
AS AS THOSE SYSTEMS LAST LONGER
AND ARE MORE ENERGY EFFICIENT
AND ARE. YOU KNOW THEY'RE EASIER
TO MAINTAIN AND LESS COSTLY SO
YEP THAT'S A DIRECTION YOU GET
YOU KNOW AND WE PUT IT HE PUT
RECENT MY HOUSE AND YOU GET A
YOU GET AIR CONDITIONING NOW TO
WHICH MANY SCHOOLS. NOW NEED AND
