Report, Ca Green Opportunities And Challenges
California has a long history of leadership in green policies and initiatives dating back to 1978. It currently leads the nation in clean energy businesses, jobs, and investment. The state's green economy focuses on clean energy, energy efficiency, environmentally friendly production, conservation, and supporting jobs and services. Challenges include providing seed funding and financing assistance, implementing ambitious policies around land use and emissions reductions, ensuring access to information, and building public trust. While green activities can create jobs, this should not be the primary focus as replacing existing jobs and employing currently unemployed workers will be prioritized in the near term.

Policy memo lyle birkey (1)
The document is a policy memorandum from staffer Lyle Birkey to Congressman George Miller regarding an upcoming vote on blocking the EPA's regulation of greenhouse gas emissions. The memorandum recommends voting against the block for three reasons: (1) the costs of climate change from increased extreme weather will rise significantly if unchecked; (2) EPA regulation of greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act will have initial costs but reduce costs over time as cleaner technologies are adopted; and (3) EPA regulation can boost the economy through job creation and making the U.S. more globally competitive in green industries.

Incentives for this program are expected to be available later this summer. The funding will provide assistance for potentially up to 1,300 Bay Area households to replace older, more polluting fireplaces or wood stoves with cleaner electric heat pumps, or natural gas or propane stoves or inserts. Residents also have the option to decommission their fireplace or non-EPA-certified wood stove, permanently taking it out of service. “This program will help reduce the health impacts from wood smoke,” said Jack Broadbent, executive officer of the Air District. “This incentive program will provide Bay Area residents, especially those in areas heavily impacted by wood smoke, cleaner heating options to benefit the health of their family and community.” Incentives range from $750 up to $12,000 maximum depending on the type of new device, income level, location and if the household is exempt due to a wood-burning device being the sole source of heating. Incentives will be available for heat pumps and natural gas or propane stoves or inserts. A full breakdown of available incentives is shown below: Funding by Device Estimated Cost Air District Incentive Heat Pump $4,000-12,000 $3,500 Decommission Fireplace $1,500-5,000 $750 Gas-fueled Stove/Insert (Natural Gas or Propane) $3,500-5,000 $1,000 Enhanced Funding for Select Groups Low-Income Household $8,500 Exempt Household $1,500 Areas Heavily Impacted by Wood Smoke $1,500 "Today's action by the Board is a huge step in the right direction and will make a big difference in air quality and lung health of people in the Bay Area," Kathryn Davids, managing director, American Lung Association in California - Greater Bay Area.

Continued…Air District approves $3 million… 2016-015 California is pleased with the additional steps the Air District is taking to reduce winter time air pollution and we appreciate the funding and direction for cleaner heating devices in our region." The Air District has offered incentive programs for wood burning fireplaces or stoves in the past, starting in 2008. Incentives ranged from $200 - $600 for new gas, pellet or EPA-certified fireplaces or wood stoves. The new program will only offer incentives for non-wood burning devices. Other air districts in California and Washington state also offer wood-burning device changeout programs with incentives ranging from $1,500 - $7,200. The Center for Sustainable Energy was chosen through a Request for Proposal process to administer the program for the Air District. In addition to the $3 million in funding approved by the Air District Board of Directors, more incentive funds may be available from the State of California in the future. The Bay Area Air Quality Management District (www.baaqmd.gov) is the regional agency responsible for protecting air quality in the nine-county Bay Area. # # #
