2 The Problems ► The global power market is approximately 474 exajoules (5×1020 J) ► 80 to 90 percent of that comes from burning fossil fuels ► Fossil fuels are known to contribute to global warming ► Demand for energy is projected to rise 54% from 1995 to 2015 ► It is estimated that with current increases in demands for oil, there is only 40 years left of oil, and less than 65 years left of coal ► Just to get the “cheap” coal plants up to safe levels can cost hundreds of millions ► Scrubber in Bow cost $457 million

4 How Hydro-Green Can Help ► 100% renewable energy ► Can be moved for optimal water flow ► Very inexpensive after investment, just 4-7¢ per kW ► Has already begun a full-scale commercial operation in Hastings, MN ► Also has projects equivalent to 500 mW in 12 other states pending

5 Impact on the Planet ► Very low impact on fish (97% are totally unaffected) ► Zero emissions ► Works at or above 98% capacity all the time ► Average capacity of: Nuclear is 90%, Geothermal is 73%, Solar is 40%, and Wind is 25%

7 Rivers ► Hydro-Green technology does not require existing infrastructure, such as dams, man-made channels, it only requires power cables to take the electricity away ► A cost effective place to put this technology is just downstream of existing dams, because the current is faster, and there are existing power cables ► By placing one or more Hydro-Green generators at existing dam areas, energy output can be increased by 2-10% ► There are over 3,000 functioning dams in NH

8 Rivers ► According to Big River Magazine “Hydro Green will pay about $240,000 to place the generator” ► If we put one on every single dam in New Hampshire, generate abt 600 mW, ► the average coal-fired power plant is only 500 mW ► Doing this would cost about $720,000,000 ► Seabrook Power Station cost approximately $14,000,000,000 in 2009 dollars

11 Ocean Power ► HydroGreen technology can be placed on the ocean floor ► No one can see them ► Can be strung along large amounts of land, because so much unobstructed space ► As of now, I am not advocating for ocean power, however this is an option for the future
