6 Americans generally won't acknowledge conflicts and make
choices. The cry is for low prices, ample supplies, absolute
reliability, clean air, no disfiguring construction projects, local
autonomy and national accountability. Great. Unfortunately, there
are tensions among all these goals. Paul Samuelson, Washington

Science of Climate Change is Strong Most of the observed
increase in global average temperatures since the mid-20th century
is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic GHG
concentrations. Source: Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change,

21 State Targets - Reduce Emissions Grow Our Economy By 2020
reduce GHG emissions to 1990 levels By 2035 reduce emissions to 25%
below 1990 levels By 2050 reduce emissions to 50% below 1990 levels
By 2020 increase the number of clean energy sector jobs to 25,000
from the 8,400 jobs in 2004 By 2020 reduce expenditures by 20% on
fuel imported into the state

perceptions, motivations, values, policy preferences, behaviors and
barriers to action 1. Alarmed16 percent of Americansare eager to
get on with solutions 2. Concerned29 percentknow climate change is
happening, human caused and serious, but they dont necessarily see
the urgency. 3. Cautious25 percent happening natural or
human-caused. 4. Disengaged8 percenthave heard of global warming
but dont know 5. Doubtful13 percentdont think its happening, or

Whats on the Horizon? 1.Will natural gas have a new (old) role?
2.Have high gasoline prices (and the recession) permanently altered
demand? 3. When will be have a price on carbon? Can we massively
increase investment in efficiency? 4. What are the next big
technological breakthroughs? Electric vehicles Next generation
biofuels Inexpensive photovoltaics Zero energy buildings 54
Key Trends/Observations - Energy Building Energy Efficiency
Largely driven by building codes and appliance standards Moving
toward more efficient building with generation included Best
building practices integrate envelope, hvac, lighting and occupants
Efficiency activity driven by utility rebates, programs and public
investment Transportation Electrification Washington State is
involved in one of the largest demonstration of electric vehicles,
charging infrastructure, energy storage (batteries) Key challenge
will be integrating with the existing electric system Creating
opportunities in Software, Composites, Smart Grid Wind Energy State
is working with companies to capture more of the wind value chain
spare parts, operations, maintenance and training East central,
Southeast and the Gorge continue to draw development. Diverse
partners coming together for the worlds largest wind tradeshow.
Manufacturers attempting to apply excess capacity to this new
sector 56
