The Solutions •  Reduce demand –  Slow, then reverse, growth in demand –  Do not retard development

•  Meet demand with alternatives to carbon-based fuels –  Solar –  Wind –  Thermoelectrics –  Hydro –  Nuclear The debate is over. We know the science. We see the threat. And we know the time for action is now. —Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, June 1, 2005 Innovating Global Energy Solutions
