2 THE ONLY SUSTAINABLE POLICY Economy Environment Energy

3 ONE THING SEEMS CERTAIN …

4 WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? Source: Annual Energy Outlook Electricity Generation by Fuel (measured in billion kilowatt hours)

5 Source: International Energy Agency, World Energy Outlook 2007

6 PRICE MATTERS If your family income is $50K or more, what percentage of that after- tax income goes to pay energy costs? 7% Source: Americans for Balanced Energy Choices, 2007

7 If your family income is between $30- 50K, what percentage of that after- tax income goes to pay energy costs? 16% Source: Americans for Balanced Energy Choices, 2007 PRICE MATTERS

11 WHAT ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT? DOES CLEAN COAL TECHNOLOGY EXIST?

12 SO 2 No x HgCO 2 -50%-70%-40%-- Environmental performance CLEAN COAL I – MONROE STATION (DTE ENERGY)

13 IF YOU DOUBT CLEAN COAL TECHNOLOGY … Population Up 48% Electricity Demand Up 160% Coal Usage Up 225% Emissions Down 77 % 2007 1970

14 SO 2 NO x HgCO 2 -96%-94%-90%+-15%* * Due to higher efficiency Environmental performance CLEAN COAL II – PRAIRIE STATE GENERATING STATION

15 SO 2 NO x HgCO 2 Environmental performance CLEAN COAL II– TURK (AMERICAN ELECTRIC POWER)

16 SO 2 NO x HgCO 2 -99%-90% -30%* Environmental performance * Due to higher efficiency CLEAN COAL II– CLIFFSIDE (DUKE ENERGY)

17 SO 2 NO x HgCO 2 -99%+-90%+ -30 – 40%* Environmental performance * Due to higher efficiency CLEAN COAL II– EDWARDSPORT (DUKE ENERGY)

18 SO 2 NO x HgCO 2 -99%+-90%+ -50%* Environmental performance * Due to higher efficiency CLEAN COAL II– IGCC (SOUTHERN COMPANY - PROPOSED)
