Melissa Capria & Cal Broomhead discuss climate change in San Francisco in this video. It’s long, but a good watch.
Takeaway
First off, the interviewer asks zero tough questions. The piece is light, but gives a good overview.
SF has a massively aggressive GHG reduction target, more than Kyoto, more than the California state plan. About half GHG emissions come from transportation, half from buildings (heaters, cooking, electricity, etc.).
The city sees a few ways they can influence GHG emissions:
1. Conservation/education
2. Technical assistance to businesses (engineering consulting)
3. Incentives (tax breaks, fee reduction, expedited permits, etc.)
4. Laws/Regulations (mandating efficient lighting on sale of a building)
