8. Key Insight #1: Purposeful Effort is Required if We are to Respond to the Climate Imperative Standard Technology Performance, Productivity and Returns Time Some might say this is about where we are on the curve at the moment
9. Key Insight #1: Purposeful Effort is Required if We are to Respond to the Climate Imperative Cumulative Investment and Purposeful Effort Transformation Standard Technology Smart Grid/ Smart Infrastructure and other ICT-Enabled Technology Performance, Productivity and Returns But, new metrics are required to help us understand the full range of opportunities, and to evaluate and verify their impact
10. Key Insight #2: Efficiency Investments Are Almost Always Less Expensive
11. Key Insight #3: Productive Investments Generate a Net Positive Return The Standard “Big MACC “based on left axis with only cost of CO 2 perspective The “Big MACC” based on right axis reflecting amortized energy costs The Marginal Abatement Cost Curve in 2030
