I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

(Photo: Josh Cassidy)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The California Air Resources Board has unanimously approved sweeping new rules designed to facilitate the transition from gasoline-powered to electric and hydrogen-powered cars. By 2025, automakers are now required to produce 1.4 million “zero-emission” vehicles for the California market, a number that would make clean cars 15 percent of all new car and truck sales.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rules also require automakers, by 2025, to halve greenhouse gas emissions emanating from vehicle tailpipes, compared to current levels. The federal Environmental Protection Agency is considering similar emissions rules, as well as a new fuel economy standard of 54.5 mpg by 2025.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State regulators hope the new rules will lead to the widespread adoption of zero-emission vehicles, which they say is critical for meeting California’s goal of cutting greenhouse gas emissions 80% by 2050. That goal was established by executive order by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenneger, and goes beyond the cuts mandated by California's landmark global warming law, AB 32. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the board's calculations, zero-emission vehicles will have to make up nearly 100% of new car sales in 2040 and beyond to meet that goal. “Without [the transition from gasoline to clean cars], which may appear to be radical to people, you cannot lower CO2 emissions enough to stop the global climate change that’s occurring,” says Tom Cackette of the Air Resources Board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Air Resources Board estimates that the new rules will raise the average sticker price on 2025 model year cars by $1900. However, the board says, the savings in fuel costs over the life of the car will be three times that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new rules announced today include the following:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Greenhouse gas emissions cuts\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nThe rules cut greenhouse gas emissions from tailpipes 47% by 2025 compared to today’s new cars.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Cuts in smog-forming emissions\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nToday’s cars are 99% cleaner than cars were in the 1960s. But the new rules reduce smog-forming emissions from tailpipes a further 75% by 2025.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Zero-emission vehicle mandate\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nBeginning in 2018, automakers must sell increasing numbers of electric cars, hydrogen fuel-cell cars or other cars emitting little to no pollution. By 2025, zero-emission vehicles must make up 15% of new car sales. In the early years of the program, car companies can get credit for plug-in hybrid car sales or for going above and beyond requirements of the greenhouse gas rule.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Hydrogen Fuel Stations\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nThe rules would require gas stations to install hydrogen fueling pumps based on the number of hydrogen fuel-cell cars in the state. The oil companies are negotiating with ARB on a Memorandum of Agreement that would allow them to avoid regulation if they build hydrogen stations with government or private funding.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>As for the response from the car industry, at a public meeting this week automakers asked for maximum flexibility in meeting the new sales mandate. They say success will ultimately depend on consumer adoption of the new technology, which includes cars like the all-electric Nissan Leaf and the Chevy Volt plug-in hybrid. Of the 10,000 Leafs sold in the US, almost 4,500 of them were sold in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a long, long bridge between here and 2025 to grow 15 percent of the market on a car that’s not price competitive, on a car that’s not performance competitive, on a car that will inevitably have infrastructure issues,” says Bill Reinert with Toyota’s Advanced Technology Group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The board didn’t address electric charging infrastructure in these rules, but has committed to looking at the issue in 2014. Currently, there are about 1,200 public charging stations in California and funding exists for several thousand more. Since electric vehicle owners charge their cars predominantly at home, regulators say they aren’t sure how many public charging stations will be needed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Air Resources Board says it's committed to continuing financial incentives for advanced vehicles, though the program has proven so popular that they have been reduced. Today, consumers can get a $2500 rebate for purchasing a zero-emission vehicle and $1500 for a plug-in hybrid, down from $5000 originally. “We can’t give an assurance that [the funding] will last through the year, so we’re looking at other alternatives,” says Tom Cackette of ARB.

(Photo: Josh Cassidy)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The California Air Resources Board has unanimously approved sweeping new rules designed to facilitate the transition from gasoline-powered to electric and hydrogen-powered cars. By 2025, automakers are now required to produce 1.4 million “zero-emission” vehicles for the California market, a number that would make clean cars 15 percent of all new car and truck sales.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rules also require automakers, by 2025, to halve greenhouse gas emissions emanating from vehicle tailpipes, compared to current levels. The federal Environmental Protection Agency is considering similar emissions rules, as well as a new fuel economy standard of 54.5 mpg by 2025.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State regulators hope the new rules will lead to the widespread adoption of zero-emission vehicles, which they say is critical for meeting California’s goal of cutting greenhouse gas emissions 80% by 2050. That goal was established by executive order by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenneger, and goes beyond the cuts mandated by California's landmark global warming law, AB 32. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the board's calculations, zero-emission vehicles will have to make up nearly 100% of new car sales in 2040 and beyond to meet that goal. “Without [the transition from gasoline to clean cars], which may appear to be radical to people, you cannot lower CO2 emissions enough to stop the global climate change that’s occurring,” says Tom Cackette of the Air Resources Board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Air Resources Board estimates that the new rules will raise the average sticker price on 2025 model year cars by $1900. However, the board says, the savings in fuel costs over the life of the car will be three times that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But the new rules reduce smog-forming emissions from tailpipes a further 75% by 2025.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Zero-emission vehicle mandate\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nBeginning in 2018, automakers must sell increasing numbers of electric cars, hydrogen fuel-cell cars or other cars emitting little to no pollution. By 2025, zero-emission vehicles must make up 15% of new car sales. In the early years of the program, car companies can get credit for plug-in hybrid car sales or for going above and beyond requirements of the greenhouse gas rule.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Hydrogen Fuel Stations\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nThe rules would require gas stations to install hydrogen fueling pumps based on the number of hydrogen fuel-cell cars in the state. The oil companies are negotiating with ARB on a Memorandum of Agreement that would allow them to avoid regulation if they build hydrogen stations with government or private funding.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>As for the response from the car industry, at a public meeting this week automakers asked for maximum flexibility in meeting the new sales mandate. They say success will ultimately depend on consumer adoption of the new technology, which includes cars like the all-electric Nissan Leaf and the Chevy Volt plug-in hybrid. Of the 10,000 Leafs sold in the US, almost 4,500 of them were sold in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a long, long bridge between here and 2025 to grow 15 percent of the market on a car that’s not price competitive, on a car that’s not performance competitive, on a car that will inevitably have infrastructure issues,” says Bill Reinert with Toyota’s Advanced Technology Group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The board didn’t address electric charging infrastructure in these rules, but has committed to looking at the issue in 2014. Currently, there are about 1,200 public charging stations in California and funding exists for several thousand more. Since electric vehicle owners charge their cars predominantly at home, regulators say they aren’t sure how many public charging stations will be needed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Air Resources Board says it's committed to continuing financial incentives for advanced vehicles, though the program has proven so popular that they have been reduced. Today, consumers can get a $2500 rebate for purchasing a zero-emission vehicle and $1500 for a plug-in hybrid, down from $5000 originally. “We can’t give an assurance that [the funding] will last through the year, so we’re looking at other alternatives,” says Tom Cackette of ARB.

They said the state used bad science in approving the chemical, and ignored the concerns of its own scientific advisers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earthjustice’s Greg Loarie, representing the plaintiffs, came to the courtroom armed with diagrams and spreadsheets, geared up to give a technical brief on the finer points of pharmacokinetic and uncertainty factors, iodide absorption rates and other eye-glazing toxicological issues. His goal was to prove that the state had cherry-picked its data and methods in order to arrive at a conclusion amenable to methyl iodide manufacturer Arysta.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Judge Roesch quickly seized on a different point. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under \u003ca href=\"http://ceres.ca.gov/ceqa/more/faq.html\">California’s Environmental Quality Act\u003c/a>, state agencies must consider alternatives to its proposed decisions, what’s known as a “no-project alternative.” In this case, that could have included evaluating alternatives to methyl iodide, or the possibility of approving the chemical at more conservative exposure levels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under questioning from Roesch, Deputy Attorney General Cecilia Dennis, representing the DPR, couldn’t produce a document showing the agency had complied with this stipulation. “Absent that,” said Judge Roesch, “I don’t see how you can prevail in this lawsuit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dennis argued that such a consideration was implicit in the overall document. She said the DPR leaves it up to local agricultural districts to weigh the pros and cons of using the chemical, a process that effectively serves as a no-project alternative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite Roesch’s focus on the regulatory process, science did make its way into the courtroom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earthjustice’s Loarie pointed to emails – obtained earlier in a public records request by KQED/QUEST – revealing dissent from DPR staff scientists over whether Warmerdam’s science had been sound. The emails come from two staff scientists – Lori Lim and Ruby Reed – who have since left the agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lawyer for Ayrsta argued that plaintiffs were overplaying the Lim and Reed emails in order to “manufacture” a story of dissent within the agency. He quoted another staff scientist who, memos showed, had found the approval levels to be reasonable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This case is a battle of the experts,” said Dennis. “And, as the court knows, the agency is allowed to pick which experts it relies on.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the end, though, the outcome may rest on process rather than science.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Judge Roesch gave the attorneys a week to draft a brief persuading him that DPR is not required to follow CEQA. Earthjustice lawyers will have a week to respond. Judge Roesch will then issue a final ruling on whether or not the state violated California law when it approved methyl iodide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the hearing, a PR representative for Arysta was unwilling to comment, citing the absence of a final ruling from the judge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Paul Towers of Pesticide Action Network said the judge’s comments had left him feeling optimistic. “We’re hopeful that he’ll ultimately rule that methyl iodide was unfairly approved in California.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in focusing on procedural issues, was the judge neglecting what plaintiffs consider to be the essential question, namely, is methyl iodide safe to use?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Towers replied, “there is no debate, as the scientific community has said time and time again, that methyl iodide causes serious health effects. The real debate is whether the state followed its own process and whether political appointees at the top ignored scientists in their own agency.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Previous posts\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update 1:30 p.m.\u003c/strong> The hearing is now over.

It also turned to a panel of external researchers to vet the process. The final safe limit the experts came up with was .8 parts per billion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when the state announced its regulations, that number had swollen to 96 parts per billion.

She said the DPR leaves it up to local agricultural districts to weigh the pros and cons of using the chemical, a process that effectively serves as a no-project alternative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite Roesch’s focus on the regulatory process, science did make its way into the courtroom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earthjustice’s Loarie pointed to emails – obtained earlier in a public records request by KQED/QUEST – revealing dissent from DPR staff scientists over whether Warmerdam’s science had been sound. The emails come from two staff scientists – Lori Lim and Ruby Reed – who have since left the agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lawyer for Ayrsta argued that plaintiffs were overplaying the Lim and Reed emails in order to “manufacture” a story of dissent within the agency. He quoted another staff scientist who, memos showed, had found the approval levels to be reasonable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This case is a battle of the experts,” said Dennis. “And, as the court knows, the agency is allowed to pick which experts it relies on.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the end, though, the outcome may rest on process rather than science.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Judge Roesch gave the attorneys a week to draft a brief persuading him that DPR is not required to follow CEQA. Earthjustice lawyers will have a week to respond. Judge Roesch will then issue a final ruling on whether or not the state violated California law when it approved methyl iodide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the hearing, a PR representative for Arysta was unwilling to comment, citing the absence of a final ruling from the judge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Paul Towers of Pesticide Action Network said the judge’s comments had left him feeling optimistic. “We’re hopeful that he’ll ultimately rule that methyl iodide was unfairly approved in California.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in focusing on procedural issues, was the judge neglecting what plaintiffs consider to be the essential question, namely, is methyl iodide safe to use?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Towers replied, “there is no debate, as the scientific community has said time and time again, that methyl iodide causes serious health effects. The real debate is whether the state followed its own process and whether political appointees at the top ignored scientists in their own agency.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Previous posts\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update 1:30 p.m.\u003c/strong> The hearing is now over.

The chemical’s manufacturer, Arysta LifeSciences, was hoping growers would use it as a substitute for methyl bromide, which has been deemed an ozone-depleting substance and is being phased out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the approval process, DPR asked its scientists to determine a safe level of methyl iodide exposure for farm workers. It also turned to a panel of external researchers to vet the process. The final safe limit the experts came up with was .8 parts per billion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when the state announced its regulations, that number had swollen to 96 parts per billion. Emails and other documents obtained through a public records request suggested that dismayed scientists were unclear about the origins of the 96 ppb figure, and that a \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2011/08/26/documents-show-deep-rift-over-methyl-iodide-approval-directors-concern-over-manufacturers-reaction/\">deep rift over the approval\u003c/a> developed between the scientific evaluators and the agency’s managers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Environmental and farmworker groups have since \u003ca href=\"http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/greenspace/2011/01/state-approves-controversial-pesticide.html\">sued the state\u003c/a>. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lab studies in rats have shown exposure to methyl iodide can cause miscarriages and cancer.
