1. CALIFORNIA ENERGY COMMISSION National Heat Transfer Meeting AICHE & ASME Terry Surles California Energy Commission Technology Systems Division June 13, 2001

2. CALIFORNIA ENERGY COMMISSION Why Worry about Energy? (Circa 12/98)  Petroleum selling at < $11/barrel  Proven natural gas reserves at 175 Tcf  Abundant supply (~Mt) has depressed uranium prices (< $80/kg U)  There always was a lot of cheap coal (~$26/ton)  Perception of adequate generating capacity and reserve margin

3. CALIFORNIA ENERGY COMMISSION We’re Concerned Now  Oil is at $30/barrel, modification of economy  Natural gas price has peaked at $60 and demand (at least temporarily) is depleting reserve capacity  Energy use impacts global commons (7.4 G + C/yr. in 1997)  Deregulation has changed playing field  New regulations and international policies  Regional reserve margins are problematic
