Renewable Energy for a Sustainable Future Nathan Thorp Annie Rotondi Erika Danforth

Colorado Springs Utilities Publicly owned Provide cheapest energy available Coal and natural gas

CSU’s Renewable Energy Program Over 700 MW non-renewable energy supplied 1 MW wind power 100 kW blocks- $3.00 each

Goal Increase demand for renewable energy through education

Problems with fossil fuels Mining –Nearly 2 million acres disturbed –Coal miners develop respiratory problems Combustion –High nitrogen oxide and sulfur dioxide emissions Respiratory problems Acid Rain –Carbon dioxide and global warming

Education Short-term vs. long-term thinking Scientific evidence of problems are well researched but not well known in community A better educated public should demand more alternative energy option

Obstacles in providing renewable energy for Colorado Springs

Economic Sustainability Subsidies for fossil fuel extraction High capital costs in R&D of renewables Economies of scale Infrastructure and current path

Education and public support People unaware of -health problems -supply of fossil fuels -possibilities for renewable energies

What Are Other Communities Doing? California - 12% non-hydro renewables - “Green Power” Texas - 2,000 MW renewable energy by 2009 New Mexico - Low income assistance - Renewable energy incorporated in mix - Inform customers of environmental impact

Solutions Individual Environmental Impact Sustainable Energy Information Brochure Sustainable Energy Task Force

Individual Environmental Impact Currently on Monthly Bill - kWh electricity used - cubic feet natural gas used We Propose to Add - perspective - individual environmental impacts of energy use

Sustainable Energy Information Brochure Environmental and health effects CSU’s current renewable energy program CSU’s energy conservation programs - weatherization kits - energy efficiency rebates

Sustainable Energy Task Force Funded by the independent fund Work with CSU and City Council Develop a cohesive sustainable energy plan

Conclusion Education Renewable Energy for a Sustainable Future
