• Increasing oil, gas, and coal prices.• Extreme weather has increases debate
about link between buildup of greenhouse gases and storms.
• Energy Policy Act extends tax credits (PTCs) for clean energy, provides 30% Investment credit for Solar thru 2007.
• RPS’s in 22 States plus Washington DC, more on the way…some standards also address CHP, energy efficiency, and waste fuels.
• Potential for future carbon caps and and/or taxes.Increasing need to develop balanced and sustainable generation portfolio

Technically speaking, exactly what energy resources are renewable?
1. Used for many years, by all of us, "renewable" is not a clearly defined term and it can be somewhat misleading, when applied to energy.
2. Given that energy is always conserved according to the first law.... Energy is not renewable in any literal terms.
3. Never-the-less it is true that day to day sunlight, geo-thermal, and tides are expected to just keep on coming. • this is because they are based on very large energy
resources rather than a renewable one.

Some Technical Criterion for what we want
1. limited to the forms of energy that are so large we can't imagine or calculate when they might be depleted…..including fundamental energy sources of solar, earth geothermal and tides (driven by gravitation forces).
– Note that derivatives of solar..... hydro, run of river, biomass, wind, wave, and ocean thermal.... also qualify for this criterion.
– And, recognize that these resources are limited by the need to find suitable locations to harvest the energy....which can be a significant issue, as in the case of conventional hydro-electric.

More Technical Criterion for what we want
2. Energy resources with low emissions, including CO2 and other Green House Gasses, and over the life cycle
3. Sustainability and a small contribution to climate change are also criteria
– Sustainable is more or less analogous with a large and clean energy resource.
– Resources such as municipal solid waste, waste-to-energy, landfill gas, wood, and farm wastes....all are derived from biomass/solar and fit on the fringe of our renewable definition, especially when we include significant recycling with MSW, which supports concerns for climate change.

The Second Law
"The total entropy of a closed system increases over time."
Examples:– We burn coal, stored energy is turned into heat and
dissipated– We operate a hydro-electric facility, water at higher
level drops to lower level.– We generate electricity in a nuclear facility and the
reaction uses up nuclear fuel and results in creating heat….and so on.
……You can’t win, you can’t break even and you can’t get out of the game…..
