BERKELEY A new analysisgives Californiansgood reason to beoptimistic about thegreen credentials of the states proposed

high-speed rail project, due to begin constructioin 2013 thanks to funding recently approved bystate legislators.

Arpad Horvath at the University of Californi

Berkeley, and Mikhail Chester at Arizona StateUniversity compared the future sustainabilityof California high-speed rail with that of competing modes of transportation, namelyautomobile and air travel. They determined thatin terms of energy consumption and greenhousegas emissions, a mature high-speed rail systemwins out when it deploys state-of-the-art trainspowered by greener electricity. This was trueeven after accounting for the emergence of morfuel-ef cient airplanes and automobiles.

The study, published July 26th in the journalEnvironmental Research Letters, comes threeweeks after lawmakers authorized $4.7 billionin state funds, which freed up an additional

and other terms. This can save hundredsor thousands of dollars over several years.

Start by comparing the AnnualPercentage Rate (APR) on a loan orcredit card. The APR is the cost of creditexpressed as a yearly rate, includinginterest and certain fees. Many peoplelooking for a loan only focus on thedollars theyd pay each month instead of the APR and, because of that, they dontrealize how much the loan will cost andthey could pay too much, said Rae-AnnMiller, special advisor on consumer

August 2012 | COMMERCE | Page 2 | NapaChamber.com

While the economy has beenmiserable for small business, and manylarger ones as well, the ranks of the self-employed have been growing. Accordingto research by Economic ModelingSpecialists International, the number of people who primarily work on their ownhas swelled by 1.3 million since 2001 to10.6 million, a 14% increase.

This rise is partially re ective of hardtimes, and many of the self-employedearn only modest livings in elds suchas childcare and construction. However the shift to self-employment is likely toaccelerate in the future, and into higher-paying professions, for reasons includingthe ubiquity of the Internet, which makesit easier for some types of business touse independent contractors, as well asthe reluctance of large rms to hire full-time employees with bene ts.

Urban analyst Bill Fulton, who haslooked into this issue, concludes wemay be seeing a fundamental changein how the economy operates. Eventhough there may not be jobs in the

conventional sense, there is still work, Fultonnotes. Thats the whole idea of the 1099economy. Its just a different way of organizingthe economy.

If the 1099 economy is the wave of thefuture, which regions and industries arecurrently at the forefront? We turned to EMSIfor the data. We looked at the change inself-employment numbers for the nations30 largest metropolitan statistical areas from2001 to the present, and also from 2008,when the economy rst nosedived and peoplestarted to scramble.

The results of EMSIs research arefascinating, and somewhat surprising,perhaps giving us a glimpse of where thefuture of economic growth may be takingshape. The biggest changes have takenplace in four metro areas where the number of self-employed workers expanded over 10% growth between 2008 and 2012. Two of them, Houston and Seattle, have done verywell in our previous rankings of economicperformance, and the other two, Phoenix andRiverside- San Bernardino, Calif., sufferedgrievously from the housing bubble.

FUTURE continued from page 1...$3.3 billion in federal funds, for the high-speed rail project.The system promises to link Sacramento, San Francisco, LosAngeles and San Diego with trains traveling at a top speed of 220 mph.

The bill, signed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown last week,allows initial construction on the 768-mile rail system to beginnext year.

Were showing that if this high-speed rail system isdeployed, it is likely that California will reduce its transportationenvironmental footprint, said Chester, who began this workas a UC Berkeley post-doctoral researcher. But to reap thoseenvironmental bene ts, the state will have to wait until thesystem becomes fully operational, which could take anestimated 20-30 years after groundbreaking.

What had been missing from the public debate is this long-term planning horizon, said Horvath, UC Berkeley professor of civil and environmental engineering. Comparable high-speedrail systems in Europe and Japan have been in place for 30-50years. Why would we expect Californias system to provide areturn on investment in a short period of time? I would comparewhere we are now to circa 1950, around the start of commercialair travel. Did anybody know then how many passengers LAXor SFO would eventually see in a year? Air travel has sincegrown into a massive industry.

To assess sustainability, the researchers conducted anexhaustive life-cycle assessment that inventories the full range of environmental effects associated with each mode of transportation.Included in the analysis are the cradle-to-grave environmental

costs associated with extracting, manufacturing and distributingthe materials such as concrete, steel and asphalt needed tobuild and maintain the vehicles, freeways, tracks, stations and otherintegral components of the travel systems.

Construction of an initial portion of Californias high-speedrail system is scheduled to begin in 2013. The researchersconsidered different scenarios, such as varying levels of ridership and renewable energy use, when calculatingemissions of greenhouse gases and conventional air pollutants,acidi cation and impacts on human respiratory health.

Assuming that the electricity needed to operate the high-speed rail system comes from renewable sources, a goal setforth by the California High-Speed Rail Authority, the biggerimpact of the project comes from infrastructure and supply

chain processes. For instance, approximately 67 percent of infrastructure emissions attributed to high-speed rail are theresult of cement production for concrete used in construction.

If the high-speed rail project uses low-CO2 concrete, itcould reduce the infrastructures environmental footprint by 15percent, said Chester, now an assistant professor at ArizonaState University with joint appointments there at the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment, and theSchool of Sustainability.

The new study updates a 2010 analysis by Chester andHorvath with newer, more realistic system descriptions, data andprojections, including forecasts for cleaner electricity. Read the study here: http://bit.ly/environabstract

However,keep in mind that fees such as those forATM withdrawals, account maintenanceand checks returned because of insuf cientfunds arent factored into the APY. Feescan make a big difference in how muchyou actually earn from money you have ondeposit.

You should be monitoring your creditreports to correct errors or omissions thatcan leave bad marks on your credit history.

Inaccuracies in your credit report canneedlessly reduce your credit score and,in turn, may cost you hundreds of dollarseach year due to higher interest rates ona loan or credit card and protect yourself against identity theft.

Try to save more and spend less. First, ifyou dont already have a monthly budget,consider preparing one to get a betterhandle on your income and expenses fornecessities, such as housing, utilities, foodand transportation. This is how a budgetcan help you commit to saving a littlemoney every month and splurging a littleless, said Kincaid.

She also said that a budget doesnt havto be complicated or scary, and that whilethere are budgets you can easily create on

computer, a notebook and a pencil can beenough to get you started.Keep banking costs down. With plannin

you can sidestep some of the more costlyfees and penalties. Examples:

With your checking account, avoidfees for insuf cient funds and bouncedchecks. Record every deposit andwithdrawal in your checkbook especialremember your debit card purchases andATM withdrawals, said Reynolds. Itis important to know how much moneyyou have in your account so you wontoverdraw your balance.

Understand your FDIC insurancecoverage so you can be fully protected if your bank fails. If you (or your family)have $100,000 or less in all of yourdeposit accounts at the same insuredbank, you dont need to worry about yourinsurance coverage. Your deposits are fullyprotected under federal law because thebasic insurance coverage is $100,000 perdepositor per insured institution.

You also may qualify for more than$100,000 in coverage at one insured bank.For example, the money you have in your

individually owned accounts (not includingyour retirement accounts) is insured up to$100,000 separately from your share of any joint accounts at the same bank. Depositsdesignated to pass to named bene ciariesupon the death of the owner, such as inpayable-on-death accounts, also can beinsured for more than $100,000 undercertain circumstances. And, some retiremenaccounts (notably Individual RetirementAccounts) are insured up to $250,000.
