What is the goal?
• Environmental stability?• Enough to meet needs?• Fairness in life chances?• Less about stuff, more about community, family?

Five Elements:
1. Efficiency: low power, high performance appliances
2. Low Power high efficiency buildings3. Green Energy4. Smart Use: Matching consumption with power
production (e.g. electric cars with night wind)5. Sparing use of fossil fuels at transitional fuel and…

Let’s consider examples of what we know works
Starting point: The Art of the Possible
![Page 8: The Energy Future We Could Create The Sun is Amazing Workshop June, 2012](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568167b3550346895ddd00d4/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Example: Arthur Rosenfeld
• The Principle: Conserving Energy is simpler and cheaper than building more power plants.
• Efficiency measures save Californians $30B/ year.
• Air pollution Avoided: 100 million cars equivalent

“Rosenfeld Effect”
20 power plants
not built

Alliance to Save Energy
• Energy Efficiency Movement saves Americans $700 Billion per year in energy bills [ck]

Low hanging Fruit:Cool Roofs: reflective colors
• Chicago to Sydney latitudes equivalent to taking ½ the worlds cars off the road; a 20 year reprieve on global warming

Conservation and Efficiency: McKinsey Report (2009)
$520 B investment-1.2 Trillion saving (100% ROI)
23% reduction in U.S. Energy Consumption

McKinsey analysis

Political Will
When government sets standards and means it, engineers figure out how to
do it
![Page 15: The Energy Future We Could Create The Sun is Amazing Workshop June, 2012](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568167b3550346895ddd00d4/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
2008: Governor Schwarzenegger issues Executive Order S-14-08 requiring 33% renewables by 2020.
2011: Senate Bill X1-2, signed by Gov. Edmund G. Brown, Jr., codifies 33% by 2020 RPS.
California Leads Renewable Portfolio Standard:
33% by 2020ISO and Utilities have to figure it out
![Page 16: The Energy Future We Could Create The Sun is Amazing Workshop June, 2012](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568167b3550346895ddd00d4/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
ISO demonstrates effect of political mandates: Mandatechallenges solutions.

Not bad: 1% or less margin
![Page 18: The Energy Future We Could Create The Sun is Amazing Workshop June, 2012](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568167b3550346895ddd00d4/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
When California leads….
![Page 19: The Energy Future We Could Create The Sun is Amazing Workshop June, 2012](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568167b3550346895ddd00d4/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
When California forces manufacturers to build more
efficient appliance….
e.g. refrigerator, it changes nation because manufacturers don’t want to
build two different products
