Tejak has revealed he's getting a heat pump powered by hydropower. I applaud that. " No solar" He doesn't need solar unless he doesn't want to pay electric bills. He'll be greener than his 2 neighbors who use NG. He'll have a lot smaller footprint replacing his furnace than he would if he put that money into panels and kept the furnace. He's not the only one trying to replace carbon with electricity. After the Caltrain board first approved electrification as a priority in 1999, the agency began environmental evaluation in 2001. Because of funding issue, the final EIR was released in 2009 but the board chose not to certify it under the threat of litigation. The federal version of the environmental document was approved by the FTA in 2009. The project was stalled for a few years while Caltrain and High Speed Rail Authority were trying to determine the future of the Peninsula Corridor with High Speed Rail. The High Speed Rail Authority initially planned for a completely grade separated 4 track corridor. Because of funding concerns and community rejection, Caltrain, the High Speed Rail Authority, regional transportation entities including MTC, and the state legislature agreed on a blended approach in 2012 for High Speed Rail which envisions the corridor to be primarily 2 tracks shared by Caltrain and High Speed trains. Electrification of Caltrain was included in the 2012 High Speed Rail business plan as part of early investment package and would be used by High Speed trains under the blended approach. After the approval of the High Speed Rail plan by the state legislature in the summer of 2012, electrification officially became “fully funded” with funding from Proposition 1A. In 2014, Caltrain released a new draft environmental impact report for this project. Electrification is expected to complete by 2018/2019. bayrailalliance.org
