This is my presentation to the staff at the Mexico Academy and Central School District. This serves as the "welcome back" for 2012-13 SY and update on the strategic plan
The document summarizes eMobility in the USA, including:
- The US automotive industry is centered around the Great Lakes region but transplant manufacturers are increasingly located in the South.
- German and Japanese brands hold the largest market share in the US, at 44.2% and 40.3% respectively.
- Sales of electrified vehicles, especially hybrids like the Toyota Prius, have been growing each year and now total over 1.88 million vehicles sold since 1999.
The speaker explains that their friend Swizec could not present today because his tonsils think they are gerbils planning world domination. Swizec wanted to show the audience an equation that calculates how annoying someone is on Twitter based on factors like the ratio of tweets to interactions, but the speaker thinks it is boring. Swizec said the equation would be a feature in an upcoming product called Twitulater, but development is slow due to life getting in the way and a lack of funds.

The document discusses emerging issues in energy research and policy that were presented at a workshop. It summarizes four issues:
1) Hybrid nuclear energy, which could prolong existing nuclear reactors and potentially provide 30-60% of US electricity by 2100, but has feasibility, safety, and public acceptance challenges.
2) Renewable energy from deserts, which could supply 15% of Europe's electricity by 2050 through solar parks in deserts and transmission lines, but has material constraints and dependency issues.
3) Increasing photosynthesis efficiency through artificial means or improving agricultural techniques to potentially provide sustainable energy with little resource needs. However, land use and indirect electricity challenges remain.
4) The unknown risks of hydrogen as an

The document discusses a project funded by the Socio-economic Sciences and Humanities program. It describes the different work packages in the project including emerging issues detection, priority setting and clustering, analysis of early warning signals, and deeper analysis of potential emerging issues. It poses questions about relating scanning activities to policies, priority setting procedures, the role of early warning signals, methods for further analysis, and the potential role of automation and text mining in horizon scanning procedures.
