7:45 am
right now. its been suspended indefinitely. well, they do some work on the pier. one of them was damaged when they didn't section on friday. one of the piles kron four's. leslie good takes a look. yes, it's unclear when the ferry service between sausalito and san francisco will resume after crews discovered damage on the pier on friday. >> now i spent with several potential passengers who tell me that they're shocked and disappointed to learn of this. nearly 500 passengers take the golden gate ferry between sausalito in san francisco daily in travelers like peter, who's visiting from germany, says seen the very out of service was a letdown. that i was kind of surprised because i thought it's easy to fix. >> but they could trying to fit looks like it's not easy to fix. so putin. it's not going to last. >> peter and several passengers are using the golden gate transit buses. instead, which will be available to riders into the
7:46 am
very services resumes of. it's it's quite comfortable. so it's not too bad. but i like being on the water. so it was a bit disappointed according to the golden gate, ferry services crews have begun to make the repairs over the weekend. we have repair crews out performing repairs to the pile. >> and trying to get the flow back into operation. but they're facing some challenges were can only be performed. that low tide given where the issues are. so the windows to work during the day are limited and there are some specialty pieces that need to be fabricated with me. add a little bit to the timeline. the golden gate ferry service tells me that the sausalito terminal is set to have its gang weighs in peers, replace an upcoming project, but that construction has not started yet. >> so they're doing bus rides instead. and a bus ride is not a very right. got nice give yourself extra alright. well, one thing you don't have to worry about when you're on the buses, the choppy waves because the winds, this is

7:50 am
million megawatt hours of electricity went unused here in california. 95% that was generated by solar panels. it's essentially be thrown away. and as a result, electricity prices are starting to climb and some believe a surplus of solar is a problem that several states could face in the future. >> renewable energy, clean energy, and we can make it more affordable and stable. if and bust, we need to be smart, unconscious and not reverse course solar energy development and may be invested more storage capability. >> something else to watch out for with solar. the california supreme court is currently reviewing a case challenging controversial rooftop reforms for rooftop solar energy. many believe skies limit when it comes solar. but obviously california's leading the way and there are some growing pains and it does come at a cost. we'll see how we how
