5. Resource Options – Coal & Nuclear COAL NUCLEAR

6. Resource Options – Natural Gas and Hydroelectric NATURAL GAS HYDRO

7. Resource Options – Solar, Wind, and Energy Efficiency SOLAR WIND ENERGY EFFICIENCY

8. What’s the answer? Diversity – some of each!

9. Public Policy Issues  Greenhouse gas (climate change)  EPA Regulations  Congressional Action?  Cap and Trade  Clean Energy Standard legislation  Renewable resource  Renewable portfolio standards (with or without energy efficiency standards)  Tax incentives (investment tax credits or production tax credits)  Nuclear  Influenced by Greenhouse Gas legislation  Tax incentives  Waste disposal 9
