• CE Defined:Extractive Economy vs. Clean Economy
Extractive Energy Economy
Plastics, fertilizers, pesticides
Transports all goods (including food) and people, “runs” the global economy

• CE Defined: Extractive= Taking from a declining source

• Clean = Instead of waste as garbage, waste as “feedstock”
MaterialsEnergy
Product ($)
Non-product (waste)

• CE Defined: Extractive- As supplies dwindle, prices rise
Quantity, or supply, decreases
Costs increase

• CE Defined: Clean: Increasing returns, not diminishing returns
Clean
Ideas as “base” for economy means a “sustainable” source; as the base increases, value and opportunity increase

• CE Defined: The Clean Economy: Huge Market Opportunity
“Peak Oil” is not a question of “if” but
“when…”
This “gap” can be “filled” by energy efficiency and clean energy solutions

• CE Defined: The Clean Energy Economy: Silver Buckshot
Finance
Clean Energy Markets: Megawatts & Negawatts
Generation: How do we create value propositions for increasing CE megawatts?
Distribution: How do we accelerate the flow of CE megawatts through the grid? How do we increase the flow of clean fuels to end users? How do we build the market for clean energy vehicles?
Efficiency: How do we build business models for marketing “negawattage?” How do we retrofit physical infrastructure to optimize energy usage?

To get the right answer, you must ask the right question....
...how can we transform our "cancerous" activity to a system that will sustain us?
