Change begins with information. Anita Roddick

You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new reality that makes the existing reality obsolete. R. Buckminster Fuller

Energy Efficiency & Conservation (4) CO 2 Capture & Storage (3) Stabilization Triangle Renewable Fuels & Electricity (4) Forest and Soil Storage (2) Fuel Switching (1) 15 Wedge Strategies in 4 Categories 2007 2057 8 GtC/y 16 GtC/y Triangle Stabilization Nuclear Fission (1)

Double the fuel efficiency of the world’s cars or halve miles traveled Produce today’s electric capacity with double today’s efficiency Use best efficiency practices in all residential and commercial buildings Replacing all the world’s incandescent bulbs with CFL’s would provide 1/4 of one wedge There are about 600 million cars today, with 2 billion projected for 2055 Average coal plant efficiency is 32% today Photos courtesy of Ford Motor Co., DOE, EPA Efficiency

Install 1 million 2 MW windmills to replace coal-based electricity, OR Use 2 million windmills to produce hydrogen fuel Photo courtesy of DOE A wedge worth of wind electricity will require increasing current capacity by a factor of 30 Wind Electricity

Photos courtesy of DOE Photovoltaics Program Install 20,000 square kilometers for dedicated use by 2054 A wedge of solar electricity would mean increasing current capacity 700 times Solar Electricity
