On this episode of NCGG we discuss the benefits of Electric Vehicles with two other SAB members Kent Thomas and Kathy Schreiber. This month we discussed the various benefits of EVs such as the cut in GHG emissions, the great driving experience, the fewer parts necessary to maintain , and the fact that EVs produce less global warming pollution. Charging and range are improving and EVs are on the rise!
A recent New York Times article did a deep dive into where the shift to electric vehicles is the strongest and it probably comes as no surprise to KCBS listeners that California - and in particular, the Bay Area - is the primary force behind seeing more EVs on the road. Data shows that electric cars, trucks and S.U.V.s made up almost 40 percent of new auto registrations in the San Jose area last year and about 34 percent in San Francisco. But with a ban on new gas-powered vehicle sales in California happening in 2035, how ready is the state for a full on EV revolution? We'll start our conversation with James Bushnell, professor in the department of economics at UC Davis. Before joining UC Davis, he spent 15 years as the Research Director of the University of California Energy Institute at Berkeley. He has also advised the California Air Resources Board on emissions trading and other climate policies. And we'll also turn to Carleen Cullen, founder and executive director of Cool the Earth, as well as Ride and Drive Clean - a collaborative campaign to rapidly accelerate the switch to zero-emission vehicles. She's based in Marin County.
On this episode of Know Power, we welcome Abe Silverman, our special guest. Abe delves into the world of energy and power, focusing on MISO, the largest US-integrated market ISO RTO, and its challenges with transmission constraints. We also explore the nascent offshore wind industry, the role of regional transmission organizations, and Abe's program for clean energy. Abe shares insights on New Jersey's offshore wind progress and the importance of efficient transmission planning. Join us as we discuss the significance of investing in the transmission system for decarbonization, reliability, and cost reduction, all while transcending political divisions. Don't miss this episode as we unravel the intricacies of transmission infrastructure and its role in the clean energy transition on Know Power!Guest bio: Abe Silverman is a clean energy advocate who believes that achieving clean energy goals is not solely dependent on technological innovations. With a focus on the period between now and 2030, Abe has been working on identifying the non-technical aspects of the clean energy transition that can accelerate progress. Instead of relying on new technologies, Abe emphasizes the importance of deploying existing solutions on a large scale. In his new program, he aims to prioritize short-term goals that do not require major breakthroughs and pave the way toward a cleaner energy future.He joined the Center as the Director of the Non-Technical Barriers to the Clean Energy Transition initiative. The Non-Technical Barriers initiative is designed to identify major legal and regulatory bottlenecks to the clean energy transition and then provide state and federal policy makers pragmatic solutions to address those challenges. Major focus areas include Legal and Regulatory Barriers at the state and federal level, Market Rules and Economic Incentives, and Social Acceptance & Just Deployment of Infrastructure. Before joining the Center, Abe served at the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities as the General Counsel and Executive Policy Counsel. Abe's portfolio included developing offshore wind, solar, electric vehicle, energy storage, and interconnection reform programs, along with quantifying and managing ratepayer impacts of the clean energy transition. Abe also led the State's engagement with PJM Interconnection, the regional grid operator for New Jersey, on topics such as implementing New Jersey's first-in-the-nation offshore wind transmission solicitation, resource adequacy, clean energy market design, and transmission policy.[00:02:09] Overview of Abe's professional background[00:10:12] Policies and regulations delaying the transition to clean energy[00:12:15] Siding, transmission, and affordability for clean energy transition[00:19:19] Offshore wind industry in early stages.

Please take our listener survey.The promise of "clean" natural gas has led many U.S. utilities to bet big on gas infrastructure, but how clean is gas? In this episode, we dive into the risks utilities are taking with massive investments in natural gas, which may be far worse for the climate than coal once methane leakage is accounted for. Expert Nancy LaPlaca joins us to expose the flaws in utility decision-making and regulators' failure to hold them accountable.Nancy LaPlaca is an expert on regulatory policy and a leading consultant to clean energy organizations. She has over 15 years of experience advocating for renewable energy and challenging the fossil fuel industry. Nancy has worked extensively with utility regulators in Arizona and Illinois to advance solar power and energy efficiency policies.On this episode of The Clean Power Hour, host Tim Montague talks with Nancy about the risks utilities take by investing heavily in natural gas infrastructure. They discuss how natural gas is not the clean fuel it's made out to be, with high methane leakage rates making it potentially worse for the climate than coal.Nancy provides an insider's perspective on working with utility regulators, and how they are failing to hold utilities accountable as they lock in long-term natural gas dependence.Other topics covered include the limits of state Renewable Portfolio Standards without clear implementation paths, how monopoly utilities use complexity and influence to maintain control, how net metering policies make or break distributed solar, and the critical importance of public engagement and advocacy at Public Utility Commissions to drive the renewable transition.Key TakeawaysHow much worse is natural gas for the climate compared to coal when you account for methane leakage?What are some of the limits of Renewable Portfolio Standards if states lack clear implementation pathways?How do net metering policies in states help or hurt the growth of distributed solar?How can the public play a greater role in getting utilities to embrace renewable energy?What can clean energy advocates do to engage Public Utility Commissions and drive the clean energy transition?Nancy LaPlaca Support the showConnect with Tim Clean Power Hour Clean Power Hour on YouTubeTim on TwitterTim on LinkedIn Email tim@cleanpowerhour.com Review Clean Power Hour on Apple PodcastsThe Clean Power Hour is produced by the Clean Power Consulting Group and created by Tim Montague.

I believe Conservatives are under attack as well as all our freedom. In North America there is a great divide politically. The Left plays dirty. Unfortunately they have the power and resources to attain their goal. They have the kids (next Gen) and they have mainstream media. I feel like I'm beating my head against the wall when I see the left get away with everything possible evil and the right taken to the cleaners on accusations. Again thanks for all you do and I will be listening. From: Todd Subject: Gun Ban etc Message Body: Cheer up guys. We went through this BS in the nineties with Alan the cock Rock and his strap on dominatrix Wendy Sunshie Cuckier and Bill C-68. They passed the bill and there was massive non-compliance. This may be our Lexington Concord moment. That too was over the possession of arms. At some point we just have to say no. Th ere is no point trying to rationalize with them. You saw that at the “town hall”. They are going to use their muscle to push it through. Our firearms organization leaders have to find their balls and just say no we are not going to comply. A few displays of our resolve will have the Libtards shitting their pants. We are an elephant and they are a mouse. If we willingly accept this we deserve our fate. From: Todd Subject: Handgun Ban Message Body: The premise of the proposed handgun and assault rifle ban is that a statistically significant number of “legally” acquired firearms make their way into illegal channels. It has been proven false but of course the Liberals still repeat the lie. If we carried their flawed logic further we could also say that a statistically significant amount of “gun crime” crime is committed by people of colour. Therefore would it not be more efficient to ban people of colour from owning firearms? Of course you would hear gnashing of teeth and see liberals rolling on the floor foaming at the mouth at the suggestion of this. And I agree it is needless discrimination. Just as it is to gun owners who have submitted to extreme vetting and certification in order to possess firearms. I think we have a good legal claim of discrimination.

It almost felt like a 'business as usual' week at Queen's Park - the 8th week in the legislature since the Doug Ford Tories won a majority government back in June. They managed to tick off a number of boxes - promises made-promises kept: including moves to kill the Green Energy Act, stopping the minimum wage increase and putting the brakes the Drive Clean program. But then there was the Cannabis file, plans to probe the Wynne government's handling of the finances and Doug Ford's photo with Faith Goldy.
Alex Pierson is joined by Alan Carter, Anchor at Global News Toronto, Host of Focus Ontario and Queen's Park Bureau Chief, to talk about the promises made by Doug Ford during his election campaign. Ford's promises of bettering the sales and distribution of cannabis, as well as the ending of the Drive Clean initiative are discussed.
