That means total passenger vehicle emissions regionwide would actually rise by 9.1 percent — an indication that regional planning is not helping California’s efforts to become a model in combating climate change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg said the decision by state regulators to present greenhouse gas emissions on a per-person basis instead of overall contradicts the spirit of his signature climate bill, the Sustainable Communities and Climate Protection Act of 2008.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steinberg said the law was supposed to help reduce carbon emissions by getting people out of their cars. It requires regional agencies to develop ways to limit suburban sprawl and expand public transit in compact transit villages and the urban centers of San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The per capita approach is something that we’re going to have to look at,” Steinberg said. “Ultimately the imperative is to improve the climate and reduce greenhouse gases.” But he did say better regional planning would at least slow the growth of emissions and improve quality of life. \u003c!--more-->Steinberg’s bill was intended to complement Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s vaunted 2006 Global Warming Solutions Act, which calls on the state to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from all sources to 1990 levels by 2020, and more in future decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Plan Bay Area, the first of 18 regional strategies to help local governments implement climate-friendly “smart growth,” or high-density development close to transit lines, will be finalized in July. Ezra Rapport, executive director of the Association of Bay Area Governments, acknowledged that the plan “is not going to reduce emissions” overall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But we’re trying to make sure that growth occurs in neighborhoods that have good access to transportation,” he said. “That way we’re part of the solution that reduces greenhouse gas emissions in the future.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>CONSENSUS CALCULATIONS\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In settling on the per capita metric, state air-quality officials acknowledged that it would not yield as far-reaching results as they originally had hoped for, but that more aggressive goals might not be achievable with current levels of government funding, local zoning laws, existing land ownership patterns and expectations for economic growth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In May 2009, a 19-member panel of volunteer stakeholders convened a roundtable meeting at the headquarters of the California Environmental Protection Agency in Sacramento to review the rules, as the law required.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the table were local elected officials and planners, private groups, including the powerful pro-industry Bay Area Council, and transportation and environmental organizations, including the Natural Resources Defense Council.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After nine months of sometimes heated negotiations, the panel unanimously agreed to let regulators track greenhouse gas reductions from cars and light trucks across California, using one of two “relative” measures instead of gauging total annual emissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other relative measure they considered for regional emissions reporting was to assess progress against hypothetical “business as usual” scenarios — what economists think might happen over the next 20 years without the policy. That measure, also called the “baseline” projection, is what the California Air Resources Board uses most often in public outreach to claim that pollution from vehicles and light trucks will decline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What they often neglect to say is that total emissions will rise compared with actual, measured emissions. For the state, that means a big difference: comparing the 2035 goal with economists’ business-as-usual estimate, emissions will fall by 9.9 percent. But compared with the actual emissions in 2005, before the climate legislation was passed, emissions will have risen 18.2 percent by 2035.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet it is the regional “per capita” figures and statewide comparisons with “business as usual” that get repeated year after year in news stories.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both methodologies make it hard to measure progress against the total reductions required by the Global Warming Solutions Act, which uses absolute emissions targets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Allowing emissions to grow in the transportation sector presents a challenge to the state’s overall climate change goals. Other strategies — energy efficiency, alternative fuels, changes in automobile engines and the cap-and-trade carbon market — will have to make steeper cuts to make up the difference.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dave Clegern, a spokesman for the Air Resources Board who works on climate change issues, acknowledged that despite the per capita reductions, the Sustainable Communities Strategy will not prevent an increase in total carbon emissions from passenger vehicles through 2035.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In some parts of the state, greenhouse gases will go up, but you have to look at how much they would go up if it were business as usual, without this law,” Clegern said. “Increases might be 18 percent, but it would have been 40 or 50 percent without the program.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall transportation accounts for about 38 percent of statewide emissions, with cars and light trucks making up a smaller slice of the overall pie — 9.5 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clegern said the possible carbon savings from passenger vehicles represented a small “sliver” of the state’s reduction goals. According to the latest Air Resources Board figures, that would be 5 million metric tons of carbon dioxide, out of the total 126 million goal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He noted that the per capita standard allows each part of the state to use uniform measures of progress. Planners from across the state’s 18 regions are looking to the 166-page Plan Bay Area’s goals and methods to set their own policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>ECONOMIC PRESSURES\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-103890\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/07/SFPubPress-logo-300x115.jpg\" alt=\"SFPubPress-logo\" width=\"300\" height=\"115\">Some environmental advocates who participated in the meetings said that persuading business and government leaders to limit the growth of emissions at all was a step forward. Officials emphasized that regional plans must be re-evaluated every four years, so the metric can be revisited.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The most important point is that these are real, meaningful targets,” said Amanda Eaken, deputy director of the Sustainable Communities, Energy and Transportation Program at the Natural Resources Defense Council. “This was the first time that the state has done anything like this. We’re realizing that the greenhouse gas reduction we can achieve is probably greater than we’d originally thought.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The stakeholders at the 2009 meeting in Sacramento agreed that with state population expected to grow by 12.8 million people between 2005 and 2035, overall emissions would have to grow substantially. The Bay Area alone is expected to grow by 2.1 million, to a total of 9 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State air officials said setting absolute carbon reduction targets could deter economic growth. It should be possible to design cities that can still develop while fighting vehicle emissions, said Daniel Sperling, a member of the Air Resources Board and director of the Institute for Transportation Studies at UC Davis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We decided that the best metric to measure reductions was per capita because it would not penalize growth,” Sperling said. “Emissions are going to be lower than what they’d otherwise be.

It requires regional agencies to develop ways to limit suburban sprawl and expand public transit in compact transit villages and the urban centers of San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The per capita approach is something that we’re going to have to look at,” Steinberg said. “Ultimately the imperative is to improve the climate and reduce greenhouse gases.” But he did say better regional planning would at least slow the growth of emissions and improve quality of life. \u003c!--more-->Steinberg’s bill was intended to complement Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s vaunted 2006 Global Warming Solutions Act, which calls on the state to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from all sources to 1990 levels by 2020, and more in future decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Plan Bay Area, the first of 18 regional strategies to help local governments implement climate-friendly “smart growth,” or high-density development close to transit lines, will be finalized in July. Ezra Rapport, executive director of the Association of Bay Area Governments, acknowledged that the plan “is not going to reduce emissions” overall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But we’re trying to make sure that growth occurs in neighborhoods that have good access to transportation,” he said. “That way we’re part of the solution that reduces greenhouse gas emissions in the future.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>CONSENSUS CALCULATIONS\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In settling on the per capita metric, state air-quality officials acknowledged that it would not yield as far-reaching results as they originally had hoped for, but that more aggressive goals might not be achievable with current levels of government funding, local zoning laws, existing land ownership patterns and expectations for economic growth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In May 2009, a 19-member panel of volunteer stakeholders convened a roundtable meeting at the headquarters of the California Environmental Protection Agency in Sacramento to review the rules, as the law required.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the table were local elected officials and planners, private groups, including the powerful pro-industry Bay Area Council, and transportation and environmental organizations, including the Natural Resources Defense Council.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After nine months of sometimes heated negotiations, the panel unanimously agreed to let regulators track greenhouse gas reductions from cars and light trucks across California, using one of two “relative” measures instead of gauging total annual emissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other relative measure they considered for regional emissions reporting was to assess progress against hypothetical “business as usual” scenarios — what economists think might happen over the next 20 years without the policy. That measure, also called the “baseline” projection, is what the California Air Resources Board uses most often in public outreach to claim that pollution from vehicles and light trucks will decline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What they often neglect to say is that total emissions will rise compared with actual, measured emissions. For the state, that means a big difference: comparing the 2035 goal with economists’ business-as-usual estimate, emissions will fall by 9.9 percent. But compared with the actual emissions in 2005, before the climate legislation was passed, emissions will have risen 18.2 percent by 2035.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet it is the regional “per capita” figures and statewide comparisons with “business as usual” that get repeated year after year in news stories.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both methodologies make it hard to measure progress against the total reductions required by the Global Warming Solutions Act, which uses absolute emissions targets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Allowing emissions to grow in the transportation sector presents a challenge to the state’s overall climate change goals. Other strategies — energy efficiency, alternative fuels, changes in automobile engines and the cap-and-trade carbon market — will have to make steeper cuts to make up the difference.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dave Clegern, a spokesman for the Air Resources Board who works on climate change issues, acknowledged that despite the per capita reductions, the Sustainable Communities Strategy will not prevent an increase in total carbon emissions from passenger vehicles through 2035.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In some parts of the state, greenhouse gases will go up, but you have to look at how much they would go up if it were business as usual, without this law,” Clegern said. “Increases might be 18 percent, but it would have been 40 or 50 percent without the program.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall transportation accounts for about 38 percent of statewide emissions, with cars and light trucks making up a smaller slice of the overall pie — 9.5 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clegern said the possible carbon savings from passenger vehicles represented a small “sliver” of the state’s reduction goals. According to the latest Air Resources Board figures, that would be 5 million metric tons of carbon dioxide, out of the total 126 million goal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He noted that the per capita standard allows each part of the state to use uniform measures of progress. Planners from across the state’s 18 regions are looking to the 166-page Plan Bay Area’s goals and methods to set their own policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>ECONOMIC PRESSURES\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-103890\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/07/SFPubPress-logo-300x115.jpg\" alt=\"SFPubPress-logo\" width=\"300\" height=\"115\">Some environmental advocates who participated in the meetings said that persuading business and government leaders to limit the growth of emissions at all was a step forward. Officials emphasized that regional plans must be re-evaluated every four years, so the metric can be revisited.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The most important point is that these are real, meaningful targets,” said Amanda Eaken, deputy director of the Sustainable Communities, Energy and Transportation Program at the Natural Resources Defense Council. “This was the first time that the state has done anything like this. We’re realizing that the greenhouse gas reduction we can achieve is probably greater than we’d originally thought.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The stakeholders at the 2009 meeting in Sacramento agreed that with state population expected to grow by 12.8 million people between 2005 and 2035, overall emissions would have to grow substantially. The Bay Area alone is expected to grow by 2.1 million, to a total of 9 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State air officials said setting absolute carbon reduction targets could deter economic growth. It should be possible to design cities that can still develop while fighting vehicle emissions, said Daniel Sperling, a member of the Air Resources Board and director of the Institute for Transportation Studies at UC Davis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We decided that the best metric to measure reductions was per capita because it would not penalize growth,” Sperling said. “Emissions are going to be lower than what they’d otherwise be. It’s a starting point that puts the state on the right trajectory to create a policy framework that’s never existed before.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A final draft of Plan Bay Area was expected to be released in mid-July.

They went after our signs with our logo,” she said. “Whether it came directly from the governor’s office, or the head of Caltrans, or some midlevel or entry-level employee decided to do this, it does reflect the culture within state government on what the attitude is toward Delta communities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Caltrans hasn’t returned KQED’s calls for comment. \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/2013/07/11/5559193/caltrans-yanks-anti-tunnel-signs.html\">But a spokesman confirmed the sign removals to the Sacramento Bee:\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>In response to an inquiry from The Bee, Caltrans spokesman Matt Rocco said a different state law is at work.

(David McNew/Getty Images)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But the decision to shut down a plant that provided about a fifth of San Diego and southern Orange County’s power is leading to other challenges: an increase in greenhouse gas emissions; massive layoffs; and the question of how to store spent nuclear fuel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Southern California power plant has been out of commission since January 2012, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/06/07/99105/San-Onofre-Close-San-Diego-Nuclear-Plant\">when a radiation leak revealed major internal problems in its tubing system\u003c/a>. San Onofre’s Units 2 and 3 produced 2,200 megawatts of electricity – enough to power 1.4 million homes, according to Southern California Edison Vice President David Mead. The utility made the decision to permanently shutter the power plant last month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Less Nuclear Means More Greenhouse Gases\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Testifying in front of the state Senate’s Energy Utilities and Communication Committee Wednesday morning, Mead told lawmakers that power plants fueled by natural gas have bridged Southern California’s electricity-generating gap since San Onofre went offline. That has led to an increase in greenhouse gas emissions. While 50 percent of SCE’s electricity came from carbon dioxide-free sources (nuclear, hydroelectric and renewable) in 2011, that number dropped to 30 percent in 2012. This comes at a time when California is trying to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by the end of the decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And as greenhouse gas emissions go up, SCE’s staffing levels will drop. “Right now it looks like we will be going from the current amount of 1,500 employees down to 400 eventually,” Mead said. “We’re in the middle of a dramatic staffing reduction right now that’s going to get us to 600 employees by September.”\u003cbr>\n\u003c!--more-->\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Long-Term Vulnerabilities\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mead and other executives assured lawmakers they have the power resources to make up for San Onofre’s loss. Indeed, the power grid\u003ca href=\"http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/07/03/utilities-california-heatwave-idUSL2N0F90I120130703\"> made it through last week’s heat wave without any incidents\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Diego Gas & Electric vice president Jim Avery told lawmakers his utility responded by increasing output at its other power plants, which had been operating at only 41 percent capacity. “When San Onofre went offline those numbers increased to about 65 percent. That increase in energy that came out of those combined-cycle power plants created enough energy to displace 80 percent of the loss of San Onofre within the San Diego basin.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But state regulators warned the closure creates long-term vulnerabilities, especially as California utilities rely more and more on renewable energy. “It takes a portfolio of different types of resources to meet all the needs that we have,” said California Public Utilities Commissioner Mike Florio. “Nowhere in the constitution are we given the ability to dictate when the sun’s going to shine or when the wind’s going to blow.

San Onofre’s Units 2 and 3 produced 2,200 megawatts of electricity – enough to power 1.4 million homes, according to Southern California Edison Vice President David Mead. The utility made the decision to permanently shutter the power plant last month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Less Nuclear Means More Greenhouse Gases\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Testifying in front of the state Senate’s Energy Utilities and Communication Committee Wednesday morning, Mead told lawmakers that power plants fueled by natural gas have bridged Southern California’s electricity-generating gap since San Onofre went offline. That has led to an increase in greenhouse gas emissions. While 50 percent of SCE’s electricity came from carbon dioxide-free sources (nuclear, hydroelectric and renewable) in 2011, that number dropped to 30 percent in 2012. This comes at a time when California is trying to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by the end of the decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

That increase in energy that came out of those combined-cycle power plants created enough energy to displace 80 percent of the loss of San Onofre within the San Diego basin.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But state regulators warned the closure creates long-term vulnerabilities, especially as California utilities rely more and more on renewable energy. “It takes a portfolio of different types of resources to meet all the needs that we have,” said California Public Utilities Commissioner Mike Florio. “Nowhere in the constitution are we given the ability to dictate when the sun’s going to shine or when the wind’s going to blow.

It starts out with this pleasant thought: \"The water at your local beach might be contaminated by human and animal waste, putting your health at risk: bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens in that waste can make exposed swimmers sick.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anything that leads with the words \"contaminated\" and \"human and animal waste\" is bound to get your attention. Here is the report's \u003ca href=\"http://www.nrdc.org/water/oceans/ttw/ca.asp\" target=\"_blank\">interactive map for California\u003c/a>. Scroll down to see a list of how each beach fared by county. The data include the number of days each was \u003ca href=\"http://www.swrcb.ca.gov/water_issues/programs/beaches/beach_water_quality/background.shtml\" target=\"_blank\">closed or an advisory was issued\u003c/a> in 2012. The NRDC says the vast majority of these instances were due to unknown contamination sources. Sewage spills or leaks and stormwater runoff were also implicated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the California Environmental Protection Agency, when an actual closure is ordered, \"there has been a sewage discharge that is affecting the beach area.
