Just moments after SantaBarbara County SupervisorSalud Carbajal cut the ribbonon The Santa BarbaraBotanical Gardens’ new elec-tric vehicle charger, a shinyred Chevy Volt pulled into aparking space to power up.

A swanky blue Nissan Leafprovided by Santa BarbaraNissan for the event was alsoparked at the charger.

The charger is one of thefirst universal standard charg-ers installed in Santa Barbara.Santa Barbara Nissan also has

one, and there are a few olderchargers in the city thatrequire adapters. A gatheringof about 20 people showedfor the small ceremony,including representativesfrom the offices ofCongresswoman Lois Cappsand Assemblyman DasWilliams.

“This tells us that thefuture is here,” Carbajal said.“We talk about what we are

going to do to diversify ourenergy portfolio and here is aperfect example. It will beinteresting five years fromnow when this will be thenorm.”

Jock Selfridge, proudowner of the Volt, has beenliving the future since Augustwhen he got his hybrid. He’scut the amount he spends ongas at least in half, he said,charging up at home and

rarely using the gas in histank. He just got back from an800-mile road trip, alongwhich he was able to chargeup at a hotel. Before then hehad not made a single trip to agas pump since December.

Besides, the Volt is the“fanciest ride” Selfridge hasever had, he said.

He said he looks forward todevelopments that will soonmake Santa Barbara Countymore accessible for electricvehicles (EV.)

An electric vehicle charger is expected to be a major success in Santa BarbaraPhotos courtesy the Santa Barbara Botanical Gardens

San Francisco-basedEcotality, an electric trans-portation and storage compa-ny, provided its Blink chargerfor the garden through its EVProject, which launched in2009 from $100 millionawarded through twoDepartment of Energy andTransportation grants.

Though it is too early forthe company to announce spe-cific locations, it plans toinstall dozens of additionalchargers at various hotels andbusinesses throughout SantaBarbara County.

This is the first EV chargingstation installed through theproject on the Central Coast.The company has alreadyinstalled similar units in LosAngeles, San Diego and SanFrancisco, as well as several inother major metropolitan areasacross the country. Its goal isto install 14,000 chargers in 18major US cities.

The county and municipali-ties within it are also rollingout plans that will pave theway for early adopters of elec-tric vehicles.

Solvang recently installedthree stations with two charg-ers each, and Santa Barbara issoon to follow with six sta-tions penciled in for installa-tion in downtown parking lots.Pending contractors, the coun-ty is set to launch 18 stationsin unincorporated areas.

Santa Barbara’s tradition ofenvironmental friendlinessmakes it an attractive locationfor electric transportationcompanies to bring their busi-ness. Of 183 cities, SouthernCalifornia Edison ranked

CHARGEFROM PAGE 2

See ELECTRIC, page 4

Santa Barbara, the birthplace of EarthDay, fourth as a market for early adop-tion. When approached by the gardens,Ecotality was quick to agree to install its240-volt Blink charger.

“This is a very smart, environmentallyfriendly community,” said MichaelChiacos, transportation specialist for theCommunity Environmental Council.“People see the benefit of a vehicle thatachieves 100-miles-per-gallon equiva-lent, produces zero tailpipe emissions,and can reduce greenhouse gas pollution75 percent on California’s green electric-ity grid.”

Chiacos pointed out that because elec-tricity is becoming increasingly cleanerand methods used for extracting the wan-ing global oil supply are increasinglydirty — exemplified in the recent debateover the Keystone XL pipeline — plug-in vehicles actually get cleaner with ageversus their gas engine counterparts.That it costs an equivalent of about $1per gallon to charge a vehicle while gasprices continue to hike closer to $5 a gal-lon, is another selling point for plug-ins,he said.

The CEC has been working with thecounty to help it use the region’s attrac-tion to innovators and bring about a pub-lic-charging infrastructure through their“Plug In Santa Barbara” movement.

The Botanical Gardens was more thanhappy to contribute to the call for greentransportation. Not only are they provid-ing the station, but are making it free ofcharge. Blink chargers are activated byswiping an “in-card.” The garden willlend this card out to EV owners and pickup the tab for as long as it is financialfeasible, at least throughout the nextyear, said John Wyman, board chair forthe gardens.

Their willingness to extend this curtsystems from their desire to be an exampleof sustainability in the community, andbroaden their exemplification beyondpreservation of local plant species.

“This is a great example of how weare living up to our mission of sustain-

ability,” said Wyman. “It’s not enoughjust having sustainable plants, we need tobuild a sustainable community.”

The garden’s lush and tranquil atmos-phere is an ideal charging station loca-tion. This might seem counter-intuitiveto drivers used to fueling up on the go ina matter of minutes at a gas pump, as it islocated away from heavily traffickedareas. But charging an electric vehicle tocapacity takes hours, so even a top-off isa comparatively lengthy process.

Paired with the lack of infrastructureto charge on the go, plug-in driverscharge up at home during evening hours.Since plug-ins get substantial mileage offelectricity, this does not typicallybecome a problem. The Nissan LEAFcan go 100 miles on a fully charged bat-tery, and even some hybrids, namely theChevy Volt, can go about 35 miles beforeneeding to use gas or recharge.

Charging stations are geared primarilyfor drivers on long trips, or commuterslooking to top off before returning home.

“If you’re traveling back home toSanta Maria or LA, now you know youcan make it,” said Gina Benesh, directorof development for the Gardens. Beneshhad the idea of approaching an EVcharging company, and discoveredEcotality through the council.

Benesh has been aching to do right bythe environment in transportation sinceshe purchased her first new vehicle in1989. She said she was “very disappoint-ed” with the choices that she didn’t have.She’s been keeping an eye on the devel-opment of electric vehicles since, she

said, and is happy the garden can con-tribute to the movement.

Benesh, who stuck to a promise shemade to herself and has not bought a newcar, expected something affordable andup to standard by 2000. Though it is hap-pening over a decade later than her initialprojection, the market for electric vehi-cles is finally swiftly transforming.

From the current offering of a fewEV’s, about a dozen are scheduled forrelease by the end of the year. Some,such as the Ford Focus Electric, aim togo the direction of the Nissan LEAF,which costs roughly $33,000, in terms ofaffordability.

As gas prices climb and concerns overforeign oil and environmental destruc-tion mount, having an infrastructure tosupport those who choose electric isincreasingly necessary. This time around,car companies have opted for universalJ1772 connectors and chargers to avoidmistakes from the past.

True to what many expected, manySanta Barbara residents are alreadywhizzing around in eco-friendly vehi-cles. Benesh said she saw three LEAFsin the area last week. Chiacos said thereare well over one hundred plug-ins onSanta Barbara streets.

But a lot of work still needs to happento get Santa Barbara to that horizon offuturistic transportation sustainability.

“I think we have a lot of momentum,”said Benesh. “We’ve seen the death ofthe electronic vehicle before, it’s reallygoing to take an effort on the part of thecommunity to get this going.”

A U.S. Army sergeant was formally charged with 17 counts ofmurder on Friday for killing eight adults and nine children in a pre-dawn shooting rampage in southern Afghanistan that further erodedU.S.-Afghan relations already frayed by a decade of war.

Staff Sergeant Robert Bales, a decorated 38-year-old veteran offour combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, also was charged withsix counts each of assault and attempted murder for attacking twoother adults and four children in the March 11 shooting spree, a U.S.armed forces statement said.

Premeditated murder is a capital offence under the U.S. militaryjustice code, so Bales could face the death penalty if convicted. Hewould face a mandatory minimum sentence, if convicted, of lifeimprisonment with eligibility for parole, the military statement said.

Bales is accused of walking off his base under cover of darknessand opening fire at civilians in their homes in at least two differentvillages in Panjwai district in Kandahar province.

Whenever someone pullsmoney out of a retirementaccount (IRA, 401k, etc.),they will find themselves sub-ject to three possible tax situ-ations and generally facingone of three needs. There aredifferent rules for those underage 59 ½, over 70 ½ and thosein between. And when itcomes to withdrawal needs,people usually are in a“forced to,” would “like to”or “optional” situation.

If you are under the age of59 ½, retirement plans aretypically the last place youwant to pull money from, butthere are exceptions.Regardless of your age,understand that “tax quali-fied” money (ie. 401kaccounts, IRA’s, pensionplans, etc.) grow tax deferredand becomes taxable whenfunds are pulled out.

The taxes owed are NOTsubject to the lower capitalgains rates but rather calculat-ed at higher marginal bracket.

Also keep in mind that if youare under 59 ½, there areFederal and State penalties for“early” withdrawal, but thereare legal ways around that ifyou qualify.

If you are over 70 ½, youare “forced” to take outRMD’s (Required MinimumWithdrawals) based upon alife expectancy table providedby the IRS. Otherwise there isa 50% penalty for missingthat distribution (and you owetaxes as well).

If you are between the agesof 59 ½ and 70 ½, that is con-

sidered “open territory.” Youcan take out as much or as lit-tle from your “available”retirement accounts withoutany government rules to beconcerned about as long asyou pay the taxes on thosedistributions.

If you need funds under 59½, you have to utilize the IRSrule “72t” to avoid the 10%Federal penalty (as well asCalifornia’s 2.5%). In order toactivate this clause, you haveto be separated from service(ie. not employed), distribu-tions must run a minimum of5 years or to age 59 ½,whichever is longer, your dis-tributions must follow one ofthe approved IRS calculationmethods and you can’t modi-fy the withdrawal (except inthe case of death or disabili-ty).

There are some additionalsituations where penaltiesmay be avoided (but taxes are

Gov. Jerry Brown stopped by the Bacara to talk to national business leaders about Californiaʼs potential in an the alternative energy economy.DAILY SOUND / Gary Lambert

Brown talks politics, energyWhile battling a multi-bil-

lion dollar deficit and an ane-mic state economy, CaliforniaGovernor Jerry Brownstopped by the Bacara to talkto national business leadersabout California’s potential inan emerging alternative ener-gy economy.

“California’s always beena leader,” Brown said.

Brown’s talk is part of theECO:nomics, a gathering ofCEOs, policymakers, industryexperts, and entrepreneurs todiscuss the role of economicson the environment, spon-sored by the Wall StreetJournal.

Though Brown touched on

issues relating to the statebudget crisis, pension reform,education, and even the poetlaureate, the focus stayed onCalifornia’s role in environ-mental and energy innova-tion.

During his first stint asgovernor in 1977 Brownimplemented solar tax credits,but he said strong environ-mental policy had been atrademark of Californiabefore he took office.

He pointed out RichardNixon occupied the WhiteHouse and Ronald Reaganheld the Governor’s Mansionwhen California first got itsspecial permission to set itsvehicle emission standards.

“It’s never been a

Republican or Democratidea,” Brown said.

California had also beenone of the first states to adoptbuilding efficiency standardstailored to different climatesin the state. While it may haveseemed restrictive at the timehe said some sources haveestimated that they’ve savedsome $50 billion since thattime.

Looking into the future,Brown said the state is work-ing toward having one-thirdof all its energy provided byrenewable sources.

“You have to think big andthink long, but you don’t getthere overnight,” Brown said.

But the talk also touchedon a more conventional and

controversial method of ener-gy production: Hydraulicfracturing, also known asfracking.

Fracking extracts oil andother hydrocarbons fromrocks by pumping steam,fluid, and chemicals into arock layer. It’s become ahotbed of controversybecause of claims that it car-ries risks of contaminationand pollution.

Asked what about his opin-ion on fracking, Brown saidhe didn’t think it’s as danger-ous as environmentalists saybut nor is it as safe as oil com-panies claim. He said it’s acareful balancing act asCalifornia is the fourth largest

oil producing state in thecountry and he wants to con-tinue that.

At the same time, contami-nating ground water is a majorconcern for agriculture in thestate. But Brown also saidwith an abundance of “goodtrial attorneys” in California,companies have a strongincentive to keep accidentsfrom happening.

“I think there’s a certainself-discipline that is going tooperate under management ofthe fracking operations,”Brown said.

Brown was also askedabout Solyndra, a Fremont-based solar cell manufactur-ing company that received a$535 million loan from thefederal government before fil-ing for bankruptcy two yearslater. Critics of alternativeenergy subsidies have oftencited its failure as a weaknessof a “green economy.”

Brown said he couldn’tcomment on the specificsSolyndra, but did believeCalifornians could learnsomething from its failurewhether it was about the influ-

ence of politics or bad lendingpractices. He said still isn’t asbig an economic disaster asthe mortgage meltdown andadded that one learns a lotmore from mistakes than suc-cesses.

“When you win, you thinkyou’re smart,” Brown said.“When you’re defeated, youknow you’ve screwed up andthen you can recalibrate andtry again.”

Alternative energy oftenkicks up a great deal of politi-cal fighting and a frequentquestion at ECO:nomics hasbecome what’s wrong withpolitics.

Brown said to succeed inpolitics requires the ability tosay memorable but uncontro-versial things and to raisemoney. The problem isimproving those skills pre-vents politicians from reallylearning about issues likeenergy, fracking, education,or poetry and learning to lis-ten and relate to all sides of anargument.

“If you don’t have thosetwo skills then it’s hard tomake it,” Brown said. “But ifyou spend a lot of time devel-oping those two skills you’rereally not going to be thatinteresting or that creative.”

still levied on the distributions). These includebut not limited to a qualified employer planwhere separation from service occurred afterage 55. Distributions for deductible medicalexpenses. Military exemptions where activeduty is involved. Public safety employees sep-arated from service over the age of 50.Unemployed person paying for health insur-ance premiums. First time home buyer limitedexemption and qualified education expenseshave also applied.

Before acting, make sure you speak to yourCPA to ensure an exemption pertains to you.The rules and procedures can be quite complexso familiarize yourself with the regulations atwww.irs.gov. Over the years, the IRS has

become less forgiving when withdrawal mis-takes are made and the procedure to “fix” anerror can be costly and time consuming.

Remember, these accounts have not beentaxed before, so most people look at these asthe last place to pull money. But if you aregoing to be in a low tax “employment transi-tion” year, then it may make sense to do a Rothconversion or take withdrawals when yourmarginal rate is low. If your financial situationis so dire that bankruptcy is a real possibility,speak to an attorney ASAP. Your retirementaccounts have rules that can protect it fromcreditors so you need to be aware of yourrights before you take money out.
