1. Sustainable Energy Setting Goals and Attaining Them

2. The Target Apply Newton’s Laws And Build a Device Declare a Goal and Commit to it!

3. Key Message Choices now exist for both large scale and small scale implementation Barriers are: –Initial/Capital Costs –Lack of Leadership –Implicit/Explicit belief that fossil energy remains abundant –NIMBY Land Use Issues

4. Wind Energy

5. Solar Energy

6. Oceanic Mechanical Energy

7. Oceanic Thermal Energy

8. Geothermal Potential

9. 400 Million Gallons Per Day

10. Transmission Lines Use Hydrogen as a Proxy for Transmission

11. Evaluate Options  Capital Cost ($ per Megawatt)  Levelized Costs (lifetime of facility)  Amount of Land Used  Amount of Material Used  Greenhouse Gas Emission Reductions  Scalability of Technology

12. Achieve Realistic Goals  30% Annual US Electrical Demand met by Wind Power by 2030 (100,000 Turbine Project)  50% of Daytime American Southwest Electrical Demand with CSP/PV rooftop arrays by 2025  20% of extant cropland for Switch grass @50MPG = ½ of our fuel consumption by 2020  Worldwide conversion to OTEC +Hydrogen by 2075

13. Conclusion  A NASA like effort is needed to reach these goals  Without such an effort, Alternative Energy will remain a niche Market  We can’t suddenly switch from Fossils to Renewables  30 year transition time is needed  Conservation is an important form of alternative energy production
