There’s a renewed commitment with the federal government to invest in infrastructure,” O’Brien said. “So we’re seeing a change in terms of government seeding the market to help during what many consider this ‘black hole’ period, where there’s not enough fuel-cell vehicles to support the economics of an individual investor buying a fuel cell station or building one.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>O’Brien said it’s a delicate balance between producing hydrogen fuel-cell cars and creating the hydrogen infrastructure they’ll need, but he’s hopeful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If Henry Ford had stood in front of a large crowd of people in 1910 and said, ‘Gee, I don’t think there’s a future for gasoline vehicles because there aren’t that many stations around now,’ …the same facts in 1910 for gasoline exist today for hydrogen,” O’Brien pointed out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hyundai will roll out 1,000 hydrogen fuel-cell Tucsons initially, for both the U.S. and European markets.

Other carmakers will follow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s all really about California’s goal of 80 percent greenhouse gas reduction by 2050. And when you just think about the simple technology appearance of it today, there’s no way to get 80 percent reduction with gasoline,” O’Brien said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, not every car company is putting its eggs in the hydrogen basket. Samantha Hoyt of Ford said her company will concentrate more on its plug-in electric vehicles and hybrids, for now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All those technologies are forthcoming,” Hoyt said, as she sat among Ford’s green offerings at the car show. “It won’t be long, and you will see hydrogen-cell vehicles in the market, but are they affordable to the average consumer?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hyundai says it initially plans to offer the vehicles on a $499 a month, 36-month lease with a $2,999 down payment. The payment includes hydrogen fuel, maintenance and service, but does not include a California rebate and federal tax breaks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Toyota’s offering is rumored to be about $50,000, unless the company opts to subsidize the car to get a better foothold in the market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Honda Fuel Cell Vehicle Sales and Marketing Manager Steve Ellis said California’s push to create hydrogen fueling stations is key.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“California is really the crucible where all of this is being done and proven out and now, other regions of the U.S. won’t have to repeat those same mistakes,” Ellis said. “The mistakes of the chicken and egg, the mistakes of waiting until an automaker commits to a certain volume before they even start to fund the station.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Edmunds.com green car expert John O’Dell said it will be a challenge to create a hydrogen-fueling infrastructure, but he said California does have one thing in its favor: public perception.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have now more than 20 years of sort of a subliminal public education because government talks about it in a favorable way, because we’ve had programs and plans,” O’Dell said. “We’re the birthplace, if you will, in this country, of the conventional hybrid.

The numbers, say FWS, far exceed the minimum numbers set at the outset of the recovery plan, and it is now time to \"focus our limited resources on the Mexican wolf population in the Southwest.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But activists say the numbers are not nearly enough to ensure full recovery. \"They're utterly deficient,\" says Amaroq Weiss of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.biologicaldiversity.org/\">Center for Biological Diversity\u003c/a>, one of the groups behind Friday's rally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We need to restore the gray wolf to the numbers where it's fulfilling its ecological role,\" Weiss adds.

There are no red birds in California,” she told Berkeleyside. Bertsche ran inside to look up the bird in a reference book and to grab her camera. She had seen a painted redstart before, in southeastern Arizona, its natural habitat, and was fairly certain this was the same species.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bertsche tried to snap some photos but the battery in her camera was dead. By this time she was cursing, she said, laughing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eventually Bertsche was able both to take photographs and record the sound the bird was making.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was calling a lot, not singing,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bertsche posted her findings on the \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/GoldenGateAudubon\">Golden Gate Audubon Facebook page\u003c/a> and reached out to a contact at UC Berkeley’s \u003ca href=\"http://mvz.berkeley.edu/\" target=\"_blank\">Museum of Verterbrate Zoology\u003c/a>. “A lot of people will want to see it,” she was told.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That day, local bird experts Bob Lewis and Rusty Scalf came to see the redstart for themselves. They didn’t find it but spotted it the following day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lewis, who runs Bay Area birding site \u003ca href=\"http://www.wingbeats.org/\">Wingbeats\u003c/a>, said the last sighting of a painted redstart reported for Northern California was last November. “This is the first sighting for Alameda County,” he said via email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_118796\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://calwalters.zenfolio.com/p583139309\">\u003cimg class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-118796\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/11/Painted-Redstart2-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"The painted redstart on a telephone cable in Berkeley.

There are no red birds in California,” she told Berkeleyside. Bertsche ran inside to look up the bird in a reference book and to grab her camera.

In \u003ca href=\"http://www.nba.com/warriors/news/20131112/sf\" target=\"_blank\">a press release\u003c/a>, the team says \"the design incorporates more than a year of feedback from regulatory agencies and citizens\" about the facility, which is now somewhat smaller and not quite as monolithic as earlier designs. The Warriors are taking note of some other feedback on waterfront development, too: last week's \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/11/06/election-2013-sf-waterfront-development-measures-lose\" target=\"_blank\">defeat of Propositions B and C\u003c/a>, which if passed would have allowed construction of a big condo project on the Embarcadero just up the street from the Ferry Building. The battle cry of the No on B and C campaign: \"No wall on the waterfront.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, how much more petite — or less wall-like — is the new complex than the old? The original pavilion, a term that the team apparently prefers to \"arena,\" totaled 771,000 gross square feet of event and commercial space; the new design calls from 695,000 square feet. Where the arena was first envisioned as 135 feet high, now it will be 125 feet. When the complex was first proposed, half of the 12.6-acre site was described as open space. Now that's up to 60 percent, 7.6 acres. The design also includes human-friendly features like valet bike parking, a public ramp around the arena, a kayak ramp, and a new public plaza on the Embarcadero at the site's northwest corner. The proposal also calls for a deep-water berth, part of fulfilling use requirements for the waterfront site, and a waterfront fire station.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">'We're about building something that is better for the future, not living in the past.'\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Those changes aside, the Warriors and their allies, including Mayor Ed Lee and a host of business leaders, will still face a nearly certain ballot fight on the waterfront facility. Former Mayor Art Agnos promised as much as soon as the results for Props. B and C were in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the Warriors' owners say they're bestowing a gift on the region and criticize Agnos and those who have opposed the arena — mainly neighborhood residents and environmental and waterfront advocates — as \"living in the past.\" Here's co-owner and team CEO Joe Lacob in \u003ca href=\"http://blog.sfgate.com/warriors/2013/11/12/joe-lacob-looks-back-at-first-three-years-as-warriors-owner-looks-ahead-toward-future/\">Tuesday's San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I don’t think most people really want to live in the past. They want to live in a better future. We have to listen to everybody’s view and try to accommodate their views, and we can’t just do what we want to do. We [want] to make it something that for the majority of the people is a better place, a city, a better set of piers.

Yes, it’s on the waterfront, but we want to create something to be used by so many San Franciscans and Bay Area residents. I hate to equate it to the Golden Gate Bridge, but, in the 1930s, it was thought of negatively. Well, it turns out that it’s a very useful and beautiful thing. People are proud of it, and it represents the city worldwide. I believe this can do the same. There are always going to be naysayers. There are going to be those who don’t want any development. They’d rather let those piers rot or have a new set of taxes levied. We’re going to spend almost $200 million to fix them and set the foundation for this arena. If we put this arena anywhere else, it would cost us $200 million less. This is not economic for us. We’re doing this, because it’s the best location as far as transit, near the new multi-billion TransBay Terminal. We’re fixing something on the pier, which is a great civic gift, frankly. I know some people won’t like the height or this or that, but I wish people would view this practically. It is sitting out on the water. It’s not blocking anybody’s views. We’re creating a 7-acre park for the good of all San Francisco. We’re creating a new San Francisco Fire Department building. That’s not something I wanted to do, but I realize it’s something we need to do to give something back. There is going to be a cruise ship terminal, bike paths, running paths, green areas. ...

(Dan Brekke/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>I saw some evidence of precipitation, right here in the Bay Area, this morning about 6:30. The pavement outside my home in Berkeley was dappled by raindrops. But by 7 a.m., that moisture had evaporated and everything was dry again. My eyeball view of the weather — rain? what rain? — seems to be confirmed by weather reports, too. The \u003ca href=\"http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/total_forecast/getprod.php?prod=SFORR5RSA&wfo=mtr&version=0\" target=\"_blank\">National Weather Service's hourly report on regional rainfall\u003c/a> shows next to nothing in the way of precipitation: one-hundredth of an inch in Concord is the big dousing of the morning so far. The airports in Oakland and San Francisco have reported a trace of rain — the same as I saw in Berkeley. The \u003ca href=\"http://www.cocorahs.org/Maps/ViewMap.aspx?state=CA\" target=\"_blank\">Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow Network (CoCoRaHS)\u003c/a>, an unofficial reporting system of volunteer weather observers, shows a handful of reports of .01 and .02 around the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, 2013 moves on, the driest calendar year so far for San Francisco (and probably the rest of the region) since 1849, the year weather record-keeping started in the city. Here's how the San Francisco Chronicle's \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/science/article/California-on-course-for-driest-year-on-record-4971192.php\" target=\"_blank\">Peter Fimrite sums up\u003c/a> where we are as of this week:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>No rain at all fell in San Francisco in October and only 3.95 inches has fallen since Jan. 1, the smallest amount of precipitation to date since record keeping began 164 years ago, according to the National Weather Service....\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>... \"It's absolutely dry,\" said Bob Benjamin, a National Weather Service forecaster. \"We just went through October where there was no measurable precipitation in downtown San Francisco. That's only happened seven times since records started.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The previous record dry year was in 1976, when 5.57 inches of rain fell in San Francisco over the 311 days between Jan. 1 and Nov. 7. Meteorologists use San Francisco as a benchmark because it has the longest consecutive rainfall record in the state, going back to 1849-50.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cdiv>\n\u003cdiv>\n\u003cp>The Bay Area's bone-dry conditions have some water managers preparing to resort to \"cloud-seeding\" in order to sprout more precipitation.

The \u003ca href=\"http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/total_forecast/getprod.php?prod=XXXAFDMTR&wfo=MTR\" target=\"_blank\">National Weather Service's Bay Area office in Monterey warns\u003c/a> in its current forecast discussion that today's non-rain event is likely to be followed by warm, dry, windy conditions:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>MAIN FORECAST CONCERN FOR THE WEEK NOW APPEARS TO BE FIRE WEATHER\u003cbr>\nAS A MODERATE NORTHERLY SURFACE GRADIENT WILL COINCIDE WITH A\u003cbr>\nNORTH TO NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT PLUS A SHORTWAVE TROF ROTATING\u003cbr>\nTHROUGH SOME TIME ON FRIDAY.

(Dan Brekke/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>I saw some evidence of precipitation, right here in the Bay Area, this morning about 6:30. The pavement outside my home in Berkeley was dappled by raindrops. But by 7 a.m., that moisture had evaporated and everything was dry again. My eyeball view of the weather — rain? what rain? — seems to be confirmed by weather reports, too. The \u003ca href=\"http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/total_forecast/getprod.php?prod=SFORR5RSA&wfo=mtr&version=0\" target=\"_blank\">National Weather Service's hourly report on regional rainfall\u003c/a> shows next to nothing in the way of precipitation: one-hundredth of an inch in Concord is the big dousing of the morning so far. The airports in Oakland and San Francisco have reported a trace of rain — the same as I saw in Berkeley. The \u003ca href=\"http://www.cocorahs.org/Maps/ViewMap.aspx?state=CA\" target=\"_blank\">Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow Network (CoCoRaHS)\u003c/a>, an unofficial reporting system of volunteer weather observers, shows a handful of reports of .01 and .02 around the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, 2013 moves on, the driest calendar year so far for San Francisco (and probably the rest of the region) since 1849, the year weather record-keeping started in the city. Here's how the San Francisco Chronicle's \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/science/article/California-on-course-for-driest-year-on-record-4971192.php\" target=\"_blank\">Peter Fimrite sums up\u003c/a> where we are as of this week:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>No rain at all fell in San Francisco in October and only 3.95 inches has fallen since Jan. 1, the smallest amount of precipitation to date since record keeping began 164 years ago, according to the National Weather Service....\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>... \"It's absolutely dry,\" said Bob Benjamin, a National Weather Service forecaster. \"We just went through October where there was no measurable precipitation in downtown San Francisco. That's only happened seven times since records started.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The previous record dry year was in 1976, when 5.57 inches of rain fell in San Francisco over the 311 days between Jan. 1 and Nov. 7. Meteorologists use San Francisco as a benchmark because it has the longest consecutive rainfall record in the state, going back to 1849-50.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cdiv>\n\u003cdiv>\n\u003cp>The Bay Area's bone-dry conditions have some water managers preparing to resort to \"cloud-seeding\" in order to sprout more precipitation. KQED's Mina Kim spoke on Tuesday with Jeffrey Tilley, director of weather modification at the Desert Research Institute in Reno, Nevada.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/119868729\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, not all is lost for the coming rain year. We're at the very beginning of the rainy season, and as forecaster and local precipitation historian Jan Null points out, two of San Francisco's wettest winters followed completely dry Octobers.\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>But for now, there's worse to come. The \u003ca href=\"http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/total_forecast/getprod.php?prod=XXXAFDMTR&wfo=MTR\" target=\"_blank\">National Weather Service's Bay Area office in Monterey warns\u003c/a> in its current forecast discussion that today's non-rain event is likely to be followed by warm, dry, windy conditions:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>MAIN FORECAST CONCERN FOR THE WEEK NOW APPEARS TO BE FIRE WEATHER\u003cbr>\nAS A MODERATE NORTHERLY SURFACE GRADIENT WILL COINCIDE WITH A\u003cbr>\nNORTH TO NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT PLUS A SHORTWAVE TROF ROTATING\u003cbr>\nTHROUGH SOME TIME ON FRIDAY.
