Why Energy Policy Matters

BAU = Business As Usual = Continuing Collective Idiotic Behavior The Stupids China Coal NOT Significant Reduction

Living Planet Report (2012) Biodiversity/Living Planet Index: BAU: 41% Loss by 2050

Example: Tigers These kinds of population crashes in species are much larger than any natural rate – this is the impact of humans on the planet

We are Processing all the Fish Fish Protein in Pet Food!

More than one Earth needed since 1975.

Wave form of BAU

Methane Emissions Growing This small rise is significant

Electricity growth : Electricity growth scales as (Pop Growth) 3.5

Latest Extended Recession: slight reduction (about 2% from peak) Transportation and Electricity Production are equal in GHG

US Reduction in GHG emission As a result of economic conditions 2009 saw the largest reduction ever (7%) We increased emission in 2010 slightly and then they wet down slightly in 2011 due to Shale Gas (3 cheers for Fracking) replacement of Coal. The red projected line was added by a blogster to mislead everyone – its bullshit

But the US is No longer The World

The Chinese Sledgehammer This is a Serious Global Problem – we are running out of the ability to build large scale infrastructure

2010: No Significant Progress
