You can’t break even.
Energy “Sources”
Solar
• solar thermal
• photovoltaic (PV)
• wind
• water
• biomass
Nuclear

Quadrillion = 1 x 1015
Barrel of oil = 42 gal = 5.8 x 106 BTU
4 x 107 barrels of volume
Yearly US energy consumption is the equivalent of
~2,500 Folsom Stadiums full of oil.
Energy Intensity
Carbon Trading Game
CH4 + 2O2 —› 2H2O + CO2
Goal: Make the most money
Players: Each of you is country
How do you make (or lose) money?
Buy or Sell ….
Oil, Coal, Natural Gas, Uranium, Electricity,
Certified Energy Reductions (CERs)
Rules
1. You must supply your citizens with enough energy
to meet their demands. If you don’t you will be
fined (or overthrown).
2. You cannot sell a thing if you do not have it. In
other words, if you don’t have coal reserves in your
country, you can’t sell coal.
3. You must meet the carbon dioxide emissions
reductions prescribed for your country. If you don’t
you will be fined.
4. All transactions must be reasonable or the UN will
not give their stamp of approval.
Generation of a CER
1. GNP – generation of carbon neutral power
production
2. SNK – creation of new carbon sink.
3. EFF – improvement of efficiency of existing
carbon-based power generation system
4. SEQ – tail-pipe controls
If you cannot meet your citizens’ power needs and the prescribed CO2
emissions reductions, then you will need to buy CERs from other countries.
You might find it cheaper to buy a CER than to reduce your CO2 emissions.
