Brown: We're going to be very tempered in the use of the coercive power of the state, but very active in the persuasive power. So I'm actually meeting with different jurisdictions, where there's no threat of lawsuits, but bringing to their attention what they should do.
Greene: We have a brand new 29-acre campus that we built and it's a sustainable set of buildings. When we started the process 3 1/2 years ago, we couldn't get approval for solar, but we made the roofs photovoltaic-ready. And now the awareness has grown so much that we're going to be able to go ahead and get approval to put in the solar. But we do a lot of things around busing people that live in the South Bay, or East Bay, or San Francisco, so they all come together on a bus, and we have the bike racks, and we have waterless urinals and all kinds of things.
Brown: The AG's office subsidizes riding on BART. We are right in the process of reviewing our operations, and we're going to do everything we can; but I would say, at this point, we're not ready for our report card yet.
Wright:What kind of car do you drive?
Greene: Well, we own two cars. We own a Prius and a hybrid Camry. And my husband is working on the plug-in for the Prius!
Brown: We own one car, which is a '94 Lexus, and it's driving quite well. I don't see any reason to junk it quite yet.
Wright: Diane, you have commented regularly about the challenges of recruiting and retaining top talent in Silicon Valley. What are the key concerns of your employees, and prospective employees, about the valley?
Greene: Well, certainly the cost of living in Silicon Valley is a huge concern, and then good schools for their children, and can people afford to live here. ... when we open up a new center in Austin or some other place, people - a lot of people - volunteer to be transferred [out of Silicon Valley] because they want to have a bigger house for their family, or yard for their family, that sort of thing.
LOL. She's actively working with Governor Moonbeam to dramatically hike the cost of doing business in California to curb a non-existent problem, and then says it is hard to do business in California because of the high cost of living and people want to leave here to move to Austin. And Republicans, who are trying to contain this insanity, are ridiculed as "deniers." Besides, who in their right mind wants to ride their bike to work and pee in a waterless urinal?
This is just too rich! You just gotta love moonbats!
GW genuflectors are 21st century eugenicists.
Well I wouldn't go quite that far. Let's just say I have strong emotions toward them, and leave it at that for now.
Exactly the reason why these kooks have concocted the phony man-made global warming nonsense -- they hate Western civilization.
None of these 3 guys knows a damn thing about climate, least of all the Lord of the Flies.
