"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. 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.",

She was a key member of the reporting team for the Frontline film \u003cem>Rape on the Night Shift, \u003c/em>which was nominated for two national Emmys. Sasha has also won a national Edward R.

But a new collection of essays is challenging readers to see another side of California’s iconic boomtown, through the eyes of its factory workers, ice cream cart pushers and metal scrappers. Even a swimming pool installer who predicts who’s going to strike it rich based on the backyard pool.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I go all over Silicon Valley building and demolishing pools. The craziest one I saw was in San Jose, I didn’t even know there were huge homes like that on my side of the city, new money in an old part of town, you know? Most clients who want their pools demolished, first off, have a dog or two, are over 50, and have kids who have moved out of the house. Those who want a pool built are up and coming.

It didn’t help that she mentioned what a good time they had and how much she wished they were still together. “This girl that I’ve just started dating sees that I’ve gone out with my ex. And she’s like, ‘Why didn’t you tell me?’ ” You don't need to follow Gagliano's Facebook feed to guess how things progressed from there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10861523\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 250px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-10861523\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/02/RS18408_Rico-qut-400x400.jpg\" alt=\"This photo “cunningly doesn't show my who face,” says Rico Gagliano, "the better to protect my public anonymity.

Depending on your level of tolerance, perhaps you’ve just come to accept that too many people know too much about you, and sigh with resignation every time a family member or friend posts a photo of you with a double chin, or the dreaded red eye, or hoisting a pint at the bar when you told your boss you were home sick that day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Privacy?

That is to say, he hung out with a group of people who blogged on it, read what others wrote on it and dated each other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was on Live Journal,” say Gagliano. “My girlfriend was on Live Journal.

It applies to all forms of solar, but will especially aid utility solar, Del Chiaro said. She expects it to continue to thrive in California, although she suspects most new plants will be in the 5 MW to 20 MW range as opposed to the 50 MW and larger facilities that have been built in recent years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the tax credit won’t be enough to keep rooftop solar growing, Del Chiaro added. The key there, she said, is the potential for \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/science/2014/11/24/california-utilities-and-solar-companies-battle-over-electricity-prices/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">changes in net metering\u003c/a>, the policy of compensating small-system owners at the retail rate for the solar power they generate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Utilities around the country, including in California, say net metering results in non-solar users carrying an unfair burden in maintaining a grid that benefits all. They’re pushing for reduced solar payments and/or new fees for solar adopters. In December, the California Public Utilities Commission proposed \u003ca href=\"http://www.pe.com/articles/solar-789435-proposed-utilities.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">maintaining the full retail rate\u003c/a> for net metering, with only modest new fees. The commission could vote on that proposal as early as Jan. 28.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Developers in Wyoming, which has a monstrous wind resource but practically nobody to use it, are especially keen to send wind power California’s way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California has largely cut off new out-of-state renewables, but that could change. The Legislature last year opened the door to expanding the Independent System Operator, and CAISO has been talking up a plan to bring in PacifiCorp, which serves around 1.8 million customers in six Western states, including California’s far north and big chunks of Utah and Wyoming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.caiso.com/Documents/StudyBenefits-PacifiCorp-ISOIntegration.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A recent report\u003c/a> commissioned by CAISO and PacifiCorp suggested a merger could help solve a problem that comes with the rapid growth of solar power generation: The grid can handle only so much power at one time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since solar power is generated only during daylight hours and ramps up rapidly after sunrise, it could create what amounts to an overload and force grid operators to curtail the amount of solar power flowing into the system. Adding PacifiCorp to its system would give CAISO an outlet for the surplus solar power, the report says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10826477\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 584px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/2012-2015-CAISO-Bar-Chart.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-10826477\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10826477\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/2012-2015-CAISO-Bar-Chart.png\" alt=\"Solar power has become California's No. 1 source of the renewable energy over the last four years. \" width=\"584\" height=\"393\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/2012-2015-CAISO-Bar-Chart.png 584w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/2012-2015-CAISO-Bar-Chart-400x269.png 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Solar power has become California’s No. 1 source of the renewable energy over the last four years.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Del Chiaro’s group hasn’t taken a position on the CAISO expansion, but she said solar growth that includes a significant rooftop component would promote grid innovation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we did nothing, obviously we’d have problems,” she said. “But if we model a vision that takes advantage of localized generation and incorporates storage, that is the answer to the concern.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Residential rooftop solar capacity was at 2.4 GW at the beginning of October 2015, with another 1.9 GW in the “non-residential” rooftop category, according to GTM Research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tax, Metering Policies Impact Solar Development\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last month, Congress passed and President Obama signed into law an extension of a 30 percent investment tax credit for solar. It applies to all forms of solar, but will especially aid utility solar, Del Chiaro said. She expects it to continue to thrive in California, although she suspects most new plants will be in the 5 MW to 20 MW range as opposed to the 50 MW and larger facilities that have been built in recent years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the tax credit won’t be enough to keep rooftop solar growing, Del Chiaro added.
