The “FAT TAIL”

What this means is by 2050- 2100 at the current trend rate of greenhouse gas release: There is a 99% probability the Global Temperature will rise by 3 degrees Celsius or 5.4 degrees Fahrenheit There is a 50% probability the Global Temperature will rise by 5.5 degrees Celsius or 10 degrees FahrenheitThe world will see severe environmental impact that may be irrevocable

There is a 10% probability the Global Temperature will rise by 10+ degrees Celsius or 18 degrees FahrenheitHigh likelyhood of Environmental Calamity impact that will be irrevocable

USA & Germany: A Perspective:Land Area: USA has 26 times more land mass & 1,000 times free/arid land space.Sun Radiance: SW corner of USA (5 times larger than Germany) has 40 - 60% more sun radiance.USA GDP is 4 time more than GermanyYet, USA installed a mere 340MW of Solar PV compared to Germany’s 1,800MW in 2008. USA should have deployed 8,000MW to be on par

Total energy needed globally is 100,000 times less than the amount of solar energy falling on earth.

Solar Energy generates less than 0.05% of total global energy. If solar energy generates 25% of global energy, it needs to scale 10,000 times, creating a $3 Trillion Solar Energy Market.

Focus on slicing the pie or make the pie exponentially bigger through massive scaling?

WHAT’S IN IT FOR US?

invVEST Virtual Market Place

UNDERSTANDING THE FRAMEWORK FOR THE invVEST VISION & PURPOSE

We use energy in almost anything we do Energy drives economy

What is invVEST?invVEST stands for: invest in Energy that’s Sustainable thru’ Virtual Teams.

invVEST sole purpose is to enable Global Leadership in Sustainable Energy Initiatives for USA through Massive Scaling.

invVEST will be a technologically & politically agnostic nonprofit organization made up of virtual clusters of thought leaders who are well verfocused on deploying initiatives that fulfills its purpose.. invVEST will enable Close Collaboration between diverse thought leaders from public and private sectors in vertical and functional clusters.

invVEST will work with all other associations & organizations who are involved directly or indirectly with Sustainable Energy Initiatives. invVEST is focused on exponentially increasing the pie size for SEI.

The invVEST team has identified Three Sustainable Energy Initiatives for Massive Scaling.

1.BreakThrough Solar Energy: Generate at least 20% of total US energy consumption by 2030. Drive price below power parity.

2.Garnering Education Community Support for Massive Scaling of SEI: Involving the Students and Faculty of Schools, Colleges and Universities in generating a mass grassroots movement.

3.Energy Efficiency and Conservation Initiative: The US consumes 54% more energy than a comparable OECD country. Our goal is to reduce energy consumption per capita incrementally by 1% a year for 12 years for a total 12% reduction by 2020.

Other well defined ideas that hold the promise of meeting SEI set definitions.

What does Colorado as leader in Renewable Energy mean to you?

How can we make Colorado a much more significant player?

Significant increase in Renewable Energy Initiative since 2007 in all 3 states.

Colorado has since installed:

• 4 MW residential & commercial solar panels • Commissioned 8.2 MW utility scale solar plant in

Alamosa. 2nd largest in US. • RFP to install 600MW solar plant, which may become the

largest install in the world.

Significant increase in Wind turbine installs

NREL and Xcel working on several wind, solar, hydrogen fuel cell, hybrid designs…

Xcel Smart Grid pilot in Boulder…

Conoco Philips Renewable Center, Louisville
