    New Energy Plans Talk to Orange County Mensa September 6, 2009 Dennis Silverman Physics and Astronomy U. C. Irvine www.physics.uci.edu/~silverma/ Topics •Energy Plans being worked on –World –U.S. –California –Local Cities •Individual Energy Possibilities –Transportation Related –Easy Household Actions •Automotive Advances •Greenhouse Gas Free Sources –Nuclear –Solar Worldwide Negotiations in Copenhagen 2009 •This December 7-18 in Copenhagen, the United Nations will meet in the UN Climate Change Conference to decide on new greenhouse gas emissions limits and a framework to follow the Kyoto protocol that ends in 2012. •The least UN goal may be a 50% reduction in greenhouse gases by 2050. This would be on the way to limit global warming to 2°F over the present temperature by the end of the century. •A main problem is China’s participation in limits. •If they don’t participate there is the question of carbon import taxes versus free trade agreements. •The European Union goal is 20% below 1990 levels by 2020, called the “20- 20-20” plan. •European countries are setting goals of a 60% to 80% reduction by 2050. •UN Climate Chief Yvo deBoer adds two other questions: “ 3. How is the help needed by developing countries to engage in reducing their emissions and adapting to the impacts of climate change going to be financed? 4. How is that money going to be managed?” •President Obama will address the Climate Change Summit at the UN on Sept. 22. •Further negotiating sessions before Copenhagen are in Bangkok and in Barcelona. Sources of US Greenhouse Gas Emissions Investments in New Power and Power Research in the US •The US goal is to cut CO2 emissions by 14% from 2005 levels by 2020, and 83% by 2050.

For the 460 applications to the Loan for innovative energy projects. Guarantee Program (LGP), DOE has made loan guarantees for 7 percent and Currently, DOE is authorized to make committed to an additional 2 percent. The time the LGP took to review loan up to $34 billion in section 1703 loan applications decreased over the course of the program, according to GAO’s guarantees. In February 2009, the analysis of LGP data. However, when GAO requested data from the LGP on the American Recovery and Reinvestment status of these applications, the LGP did not have consolidated data readily Act added section 1705, making available and had to assemble these data over several months from various certain commercial technologies that could start construction by September sources. Without consolidated data on applicants, LGP managers do not have 30, 2011, eligible for loan guarantees.
