Colleagues, environmental justice organizations oppose the state bill that brought this item to our agenda.
They've been deeply concerned about the risks of hydrogen projects prolonging fossil fuel infrastructure.
98% of hydrogen fuel is made from fossil fuels.
Only 1% is made using low carbon energy, namely electrolysis of water.
But this process is still energy intensive and depends on abundant electricity.
At the core of the hydrogen hype is the fossil fuel industry, which has lobbied extensively for the proliferation of hydrogen, which is highly energy intensive, poorly regulated, and because of the nature of hydrogen, risks releasing nitrogen oxide into our atmosphere.
Nitrogen oxides are 20 times more harmful than carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas and exacerbating respiratory conditions in communities such as asthma.
Hydrogen is a Trojan horse for fossil fuel lock-in, and for this reason, I'll be voting no.
Thank you.
Just first off, I do support this legislation.
And I also support my colleague Supervisor Walton's amendment.
Actually, because
Because of San Francisco's interesting history with a revolving door of folks in city government, although offices such as assessor recorder, city attorney, district attorney do have a high bar for qualifications, many of the folks that have served in those offices in most recent decades have been appointed.
And there is a power of incumbency that I would argue does keep people out.
And so that is exactly why I support Supervisor Walton's amendment and agree that we need to do this in one fell swoop.
And because of our charter and how it's written, the mayor has the power to appoint many of those positions.
And that is exactly what has happened.
And so I don't understand why we wouldn't take this amendment forward along with the entire legislation regarding both the mayor and the supervisors.
And I just want to thank Supervisor Walton for bringing this amendment to us.
Thank you.
