renewables so we're further reinforcing and we're business people we're not environmentalists 300 people in the
test for a renewable for me does it meet the Chia price the price at which it would be
In the renewables , in the request for applications, the call, one example given that has not been supported
gas and renewables which have balanced uses what do I mean by balanced uses it means in the case of natural gas that
an example so renewables it's interesting most of us think of renewables I did I thought renewables
perception that renewables don't make sense without government intervention in the private cause social
And so I spoke at the World Renewable Energy Forum at Greenbuild and Living Futures Conference next month, and at Google.
from coal to natural gas and renewables in energy efficiency about a third, a third, a third contributing here in the US and lots of other factors.
There's the faction that wants renewables .
we certainly have very strong emphasis on renewables and efficiency, but I do want to emphasize that we do have, and really mean, in all of the above strategy, which really
I mean why not go directly to renewables .
So Pillar one, renewable energy. They suck up the energy around the buildings -- renewables .
Yes, but people in renewables would say, every time this kind of thing comes, it sort of cleans out a whole bunch of startups
And there's ways for things like with renewables , too, where you can create very powerful social norms of action.
For example, AllEarth renewables in Vermont-- the capital cost of that plant was paid for 30% by the federal government as a tax credit.
And I just want to stress I am all in favor of renewables , but they're just not going to do the trick in the next 30 to 50 years.
energies to rethink of our city as a city that runs on pure renewables .
And then Ronald Reagan came into the White House, and the renewable age was-- the subsidies for renewables
We ought to be phasing those out, going with renewables , and developing, as I say, next generation fission and other things so that we have a rational mix.
I understand that in the United States our subsidies for fossil fuels are greater than our subsidies for renewables at the moment.
underground storage, and nuclear as well, and renewables and efficiency.
They're in statute, so we have $4 billion in play for renewables and efficiency.
If people start installing, for example, renewables , it is interesting that it's something that conservatives are often very, very interested in doing,
So we have to build out and change the whole energy system from fossil fuels and nuclear to renewables .
and you could do all, you could add all these renewables to it.
So that when millions and millions and millions of buildings across Europe are collecting a little bit of their own energy -- renewables that are around the site -- storing it with
Raising half a billion dollars a year and spending it for the most part on renewables , the kind of stuff you would expect that money to be used.
But any sort of-- today, looking at the technology today, any sensible power generation will have a lot of renewables in the mix.
One is, what do you see in terms of technology and cost, and the other is, what are the challenging issues around intermittency and integration with renewables
And of course, a lot of this is tied in with, sort of, subsidies for oil and gas and hardly anything for renewables .
And part of why I mention this is that at different times, there's been huge hope that renewables are just around the corner, or are about to make that breakthrough.
And there's other things here, renewables , and I'll focus on a few of these as I go forward.
