First the FACCSF wants to thank all the attendees for joining us, and the speakers to make possible this event.
We were in a wonderful atmosphere at the Nixon Peabody LLP offices.
B. Brockenborough Chevron Energy Solutions projects to reduce energy use by nearly 30% on average. In this CES work with public sectors to reduce the consumption: K-12 Schools, College and Universities, local and states governments, wastewater treatment plants.
F-X. Rongère from PG&E links CO2 emissions and California regulations. California seems to be the leader of renewable energies in the United States. 20% of energy sources will be renewable in 2010, 33% in 2020.
T. N’kaoua, Areva, talked about the global matter of energy. To stabilize CO2 level in atmosphere, we need to divide by 4 our CO2 emissions (Nobel prized GIEC experts). This fact is linked with the superpower of China, which build one new coal power plant every 5 days in China.
For Bob McDonald from Skyline Solar, his company will enable PV systems to become the primary source of new peak electricity generation by 2020. Solar power is the most abundant source of energy, so we have to work on the efficiency level. Skyline proposed panels on track to follow the sun and increase the efficiency by 30%. The Skyline solar panels are made with well-known components so easier to manufacture.

Finally United-States and the world need a global policy of energy, a real agreement between USA and China will help to go ahead. Government policies have to mix the different sources of energy: the old sources energies too in order to make a transition to the new ones. In that way the international regulation, or country by country, could help to launch this trend: build infrastructure, organize a regulation with an authority having a real power. The nuclear power of Areva could be a solution without the nuclear waste controversy. The problem is to take the decisions, the good ones, and only governments and consumers can do that.
