That has really helped improve air quality.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Clean Air Act allows California to set stricter standards than the federal government on emissions from cars. Good to note: The state needs a waiver from the EPA to set the stricter threshold, and different administrations have differed on whether to allow it. Some are worried that \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/science/2017/01/10/trump-congress-could-halt-state-action-on-climate/\">it may be\u003c/a> halted under a Trump administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What about Spare the Air alerts?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Wread was convinced the air was dirtier in the Bay Area because she was hearing more Spare the Air alerts. The air district issues alerts when it appears that pollution levels will exceed national standards for safety. The idea is to get people to drive less and not put more pollution into the air by, say, burning stuff. KQED and other stations broadcast these alerts as a public service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether people follow the advice is \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/science/2016/05/27/do-people-drive-less-on-spare-the-air-days/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">another story\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It used to be just in the summertime, a couple of days. Now you get them in the winter and all summer long,” Wread said. “It’s like year-round now!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On this, Wread is correct. The air district called 27 Spare the Air days in the summer of 2016, which is \u003ca href=\"http://sparetheair.org/stay-informed/ozone/ozone-box-scores\">three times as many as the previous \u003c/a>summer and significantly higher than any year since 1996, which had 25 alerts. (Wintertime alerts are \u003ca href=\"http://sparetheair.org/stay-informed/particulate-matter/pm-box-scores\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tracked separately\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Does that necessarily mean that air quality is worse? It turns out, no. And here’s why.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Air Quality Management District says the actual reason there are more Spare the Air alerts now is because in 2015 the Environmental Protection Agency tightened the standards for ozone levels from 75 parts per billion to 70 parts per billion. The air district had to call more alerts to meet the new standard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So while Wread’s logic was sound, the data she was using had shifted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[bapopgrowth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Air inequality\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>While air quality has improved overall in the Bay Area, not everyone is breathing the same air.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>West Oakland and Bayview-Hunters Point in San Francisco are two hot spots that are more polluted because they’re near major sources of pollution like ports and freeways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John Balmes of UC San Francisco and UC Berkeley says neighborhoods that are more polluted often have some things in common.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They tend to be in communities of color with lower socioeconomic status where there’s lots of stuff going on, typically more freeways, power plants, refineries and other kinds of transportation corridors,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Balmes says these communities are at greater risk for health problems like \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/stateofhealth/tag/asthma/\">asthma\u003c/a> and heart conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite this inequity, there is a silver lining.

That has really helped improve air quality.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Clean Air Act allows California to set stricter standards than the federal government on emissions from cars. Good to note: The state needs a waiver from the EPA to set the stricter threshold, and different administrations have differed on whether to allow it. Some are worried that \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/science/2017/01/10/trump-congress-could-halt-state-action-on-climate/\">it may be\u003c/a> halted under a Trump administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What about Spare the Air alerts?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Wread was convinced the air was dirtier in the Bay Area because she was hearing more Spare the Air alerts. The air district issues alerts when it appears that pollution levels will exceed national standards for safety. The idea is to get people to drive less and not put more pollution into the air by, say, burning stuff. KQED and other stations broadcast these alerts as a public service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether people follow the advice is \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/science/2016/05/27/do-people-drive-less-on-spare-the-air-days/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">another story\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It used to be just in the summertime, a couple of days. Now you get them in the winter and all summer long,” Wread said. “It’s like year-round now!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On this, Wread is correct. The air district called 27 Spare the Air days in the summer of 2016, which is \u003ca href=\"http://sparetheair.org/stay-informed/ozone/ozone-box-scores\">three times as many as the previous \u003c/a>summer and significantly higher than any year since 1996, which had 25 alerts. (Wintertime alerts are \u003ca href=\"http://sparetheair.org/stay-informed/particulate-matter/pm-box-scores\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tracked separately\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Does that necessarily mean that air quality is worse? It turns out, no. And here’s why.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Air Quality Management District says the actual reason there are more Spare the Air alerts now is because in 2015 the Environmental Protection Agency tightened the standards for ozone levels from 75 parts per billion to 70 parts per billion. The air district had to call more alerts to meet the new standard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So while Wread’s logic was sound, the data she was using had shifted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[bapopgrowth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Air inequality\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>While air quality has improved overall in the Bay Area, not everyone is breathing the same air.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>West Oakland and Bayview-Hunters Point in San Francisco are two hot spots that are more polluted because they’re near major sources of pollution like ports and freeways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John Balmes of UC San Francisco and UC Berkeley says neighborhoods that are more polluted often have some things in common.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They tend to be in communities of color with lower socioeconomic status where there’s lots of stuff going on, typically more freeways, power plants, refineries and other kinds of transportation corridors,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Balmes says these communities are at greater risk for health problems like \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/stateofhealth/tag/asthma/\">asthma\u003c/a> and heart conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite this inequity, there is a silver lining.

"content": "\u003cp>Nearly half of California is officially out of the drought.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the real turning point in the drought occurred in early January, when a series of storms brought drenching rains and drifting snow to the state, the unrelenting march of moisture off the Pacific Ocean continues to make milestones in dousing the nearly six-year drought.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the U.S. Drought Monitor’s \u003ca href=\"http://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/Home/StateDroughtMonitor.aspx?CA\">weekly analysis\u003c/a>, no part of California remains in a state of “exceptional drought,” the most severe category, and barely more than 2 percent remains in “extreme drought” (bright-red on the map) as nearly two-thirds of the state was classified just a year ago. The portion of California classified in any level of drought is now just over 51 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/NmWEygCaUWA\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>The animated map takes you from the first flickers of drought in 2011, through its peak, up to its waning stage today. Dark-red indicates the most severe level of drought. Yellow indicates areas considered “abnormally dry,” but not technically in drought, as defined by NOAA.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UPDATE: So moisture-packed was the parade of recent storms that a \u003ca href=\"http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?release=2017-018\">new report\u003c/a> from NASA estimates that two of these “atmospheric rivers” by themselves might have made up more than a third of California’s five-year deficit of water content in the Sierra snowpack.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This has been a real about-face,” says Dan Cayan, a climate researcher at Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla. “To date we’ve achieved almost a normal winter’s worth of water in many places in the state.” That’s with two months remaining in California’s traditional wet season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearly all measures of moisture are showing this. Compared to the average on April 1, when the \u003ca href=\"http://cdec.water.ca.gov/cdecapp/snowapp/sweq.action\">Sierra snowpack\u003c/a> typically peaks, water content of the statewide snowpack is already at 106 percent, and nearly double the average for this date. In the southern Sierra, which had been lagging the rest of the state, it’s more than double.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Likewise reservoirs are rapidly topping up (starkly seen in this \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/science/2017/01/25/before-and-after-the-rains-impact-on-three-california-reservoirs/\">satellite imagery\u003c/a>). The state’s two largest reservoirs are both well above their historical averages and holding more than 80 percent of their total capacity (many reservoirs designed for flood control are \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/science/2016/02/29/california-reservoirs-are-dumping-water-in-a-drought-but-science-could-change-that/\">not permitted to fill\u003c/a> completely during the winter).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://ww2.kqed.org/science/2017/01/25/before-and-after-the-rains-impact-on-three-california-reservoirs/\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m a little reluctant to say the drought’s over, even though conditions have markedly improved,” cautions Cayan, noting that the state’s groundwater aquifers have a lot of catching up to do. Cayan says it may take years of “bountiful water” to refill those that can be refilled. Farms and cities have drawn heavily on groundwater during the drought, to make up for scant supplies of surface water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state’s most stubborn trouble spot remains concentrated around Santa Barbara, Ventura, and western Kern Counties, portions of which remain in extreme drought.\u003c/p>\n\n",

"content": "\u003cp>Seven years ago, Sunnyvale resident Mark Chung took a three-week vacation. When he came home, his electricity bill looked more than a little off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Normally my energy bill is about $100 to $130,” says Chung. “This one was like $560.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So he called PG&E and told them: ‘There’s something wrong with my meter.’\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”mFMkHBlApPg1CkZuc6y25ZSWTCmuQ6nF”]“And they’re like, ‘Oh, no, we’ve had these smart meters rolled out for a few years now. Everything is fine.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His response: “Well, can you tell where I spent the electricity?’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The utility’s response: “On your house.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not the most helpful answer, Chung says, laughing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Chung was trained as an electrical engineer at \u003ca href=\"https://www.stanford.edu/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stanford University\u003c/a>, so he did what any engineer might: He went to Home Depot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I bought these kilowatt meters that they had on the shelves, they’re like $10,” says Chung. “We hacked them to be Wi-Fi enabled, then I plugged them throughout my house. And I couldn’t find anything that was an anomaly. ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So Chung took the project to the next level and built an electrical map to monitor every appliance, every piece of machinery, every light in his house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And he found the problem: a broken pool pump that was spinning inefficiently, using too much energy. Problem solved. And business idea hatched.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I spent a lot of time thinking about wanting to do something,” says Chung. “I always thought technology was cool, I can build greater, cooler things. But I want to use it in a way that can help people, help humanity.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">For manufacturers like Jabil, that has 100+ factories, Verdigris’ sensors could save the company millions of dollars.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Chung reasoned, if he could map his house, why couldn’t he scale things up and map a factory or a hotel that uses A LOT of energy. So, Chung left his day job and launched a company he named \u003ca href=\"http://verdigris.co/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Verdigris\u003c/a>. NASA was one of his early backers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In case you’re wondering, Chung named his company after a color. Verdigris is\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>the bluish-green patina that forms on copper that’s left outside. Think: old French buildings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Copper is the elemental infrastructure of every single building in the world,” says Chung, “what all of our electricity runs on. And what we have as a company mission is this desire to expose that to the world and make it green.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To head off the worst impacts of climate change, which requires holding the global temperature rise to less than 2 degrees Celsius relative to pre-industrial levels, \u003ca href=\"http://www.ipcc.ch/pdf/assessment-report/ar5/wg1/WG1AR5_SPM_FINAL.pdf\">scientists warn that we need to cut global carbon emissions\u003c/a> by 40 to 70 percent by mid-century. There are two basic ways to get there: replace fossil fuels with renewable energy sources. And/or, we can use a lot less energy. Verdigris focuses on that second solution by making buildings smarter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Saving Millions of Dollars in Energy Costs\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chung found factories around the world willing to invest in the technology. In Scotland, about 15 miles west of Edinburgh in the city of Livingston, the company \u003ca href=\"http://www.jabil.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jabil\u003c/a> is using the Verdigris system in \u003ca href=\"http://www.jabil.com/globalassets/documents/livingston-fact-sheet-2014.pdf\">its 125,000-square-foot factory\u003c/a>.

And I couldn’t find anything that was an anomaly. ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So Chung took the project to the next level and built an electrical map to monitor every appliance, every piece of machinery, every light in his house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And he found the problem: a broken pool pump that was spinning inefficiently, using too much energy. Problem solved. And business idea hatched.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I spent a lot of time thinking about wanting to do something,” says Chung. “I always thought technology was cool, I can build greater, cooler things. But I want to use it in a way that can help people, help humanity.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">For manufacturers like Jabil, that has 100+ factories, Verdigris’ sensors could save the company millions of dollars.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Chung reasoned, if he could map his house, why couldn’t he scale things up and map a factory or a hotel that uses A LOT of energy. So, Chung left his day job and launched a company he named \u003ca href=\"http://verdigris.co/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Verdigris\u003c/a>. NASA was one of his early backers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In case you’re wondering, Chung named his company after a color. Verdigris is\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>the bluish-green patina that forms on copper that’s left outside. Think: old French buildings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Copper is the elemental infrastructure of every single building in the world,” says Chung, “what all of our electricity runs on. And what we have as a company mission is this desire to expose that to the world and make it green.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To head off the worst impacts of climate change, which requires holding the global temperature rise to less than 2 degrees Celsius relative to pre-industrial levels, \u003ca href=\"http://www.ipcc.ch/pdf/assessment-report/ar5/wg1/WG1AR5_SPM_FINAL.pdf\">scientists warn that we need to cut global carbon emissions\u003c/a> by 40 to 70 percent by mid-century. There are two basic ways to get there: replace fossil fuels with renewable energy sources. And/or, we can use a lot less energy. Verdigris focuses on that second solution by making buildings smarter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Saving Millions of Dollars in Energy Costs\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chung found factories around the world willing to invest in the technology. In Scotland, about 15 miles west of Edinburgh in the city of Livingston, the company \u003ca href=\"http://www.jabil.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jabil\u003c/a> is using the Verdigris system in \u003ca href=\"http://www.jabil.com/globalassets/documents/livingston-fact-sheet-2014.pdf\">its 125,000-square-foot factory\u003c/a>.
