Chapter 29: Rethink “green” and a Few other Suggestion Written by Robert Bryce Presented by: Stephen Berwick

“Green” is not cheap or easy Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd. -Voltaire “ All the blather about “green” has caused the delusion that we can get energy on the cheap with out environmental impact at all.” $5.5 trillion will be spent by the International Energy agency between now and 2030 on renewable energy. By 2030 renewable energy could provide 10% of the worlds primary energy needs.

N2N Plan Promote Natural gas and nuclear power through target use of tax incentives Encourage oil and gas production in the U.S. Continue promoting energy efficiency Continue working on renewables and energy storage technologies such as batteries and compressed air energy

Support the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) IAEA is the organization that is supposed to regulate and police the nuclear center On September 7, 2002 Bush falsely claim that the IAEA issued a report saying that Iraq was just six month away from developing a nuclear weapon January 27, 2003 the director general of the IAEA told the UN that there was no evidence of a nuclear weapons program in Iraq Right now it is under funded and lack political power
