Role of Renewable Energy in U.S. and World is Hot Topic Hour on Sept. 30, 2010
This week we had some great presentations on the nuclear and solar and some non-power energy options. Next week we will taking a broader view and try to guesstimate the future. What will be the mix of renewable, nuclear and fossil energy in the U.S. and the world?
Paula Mints, Director, Energy, Navigant Consulting, Inc. will talk about the state of the global solar industry.
McIlvaine staffers will provide specific projections in MW of each type of renewable energy by region over the next 10 years.
Bob McIlvaine will then lead discussions on important variables:
· What will be the impact of greenhouse gas regulation?
· Future cost of carbon sequestration (with and without EOR).
· Future costs of nuclear, solar, wind, coal and biomass.
· Cost reduction expectations for solar and wind.
· Availability of biomass.
· Could a common metric to measure all forms of harm result in better choices?
Should the occasion arise during the discussions, we can retrieve the power points and other data on our site which is relevant. We have had presentations on the lack of gas infrastructure, transmission line sitting, projected cost Oxyfuel, status of shale gas and many other relevant details, so it should be a lively discussion.
