Blagojevich Climate Change Advisory Group Additional Policy Suggestions Summary • Augmentation of IL Energy Plan options – EEPS; RPS; Biofuel incentives and R&D – Residential building code; energy efficiency incentives for businesses • Energy – Policies, incentives, research to promote CCS and clean coal technologies – Incentives for small- & large-scale wind/solar • Transportation – Improved mass transit – Auto fuel efficiency standards; incentives for electric/plug-in hybrid vehicles – Reduce diesel emissions – New vehicle license and renewal fee based on CO2 emissions Governor Rod R. Blagojevich Climate Change Advisory Group Key policy components to consider • Affected sectors/sub-sectors/entities • Related/complimenting policies and programs • Time-tables and policy duration • Stringency • Implementation mechanisms • Barriers to implementation • Interstate cooperation Governor Rod R. Blagojevich Climate Change Advisory Group Next steps: Assign policies to subgroups • Policies go to subgroups for further consideration • Primarily assigned by relevant sector • Subgroups report back to CCAG on progress Governor Rod R.
